1 John 3:9 : is the born again spirit having become : "the new creation in Christ".
This is to be "in Christ", and there is no sin found there.
However, renewing your mind, so that Romans 8:1 is your spiritual reality, is something different.
Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation on you or in you, if you are in Christ.
See, Condemnation IN you would be guilt and regret and worry about sin.
While, Condemnation ON you would be God's wrath as damnation... and that is John 3:36, which is currently found ON all the unbelievers who have never been born again.
Unbelievers , never born again....,do not understand that they are currently damned, until they are born again.
This is the same issue you find with people who are water baptized, very religious, but lost.
John 3:36
Reader,
Hell, is the place where the damned end up., with the Lake of Fire being their final destination.
There are no born again in hell, and there are no Christ rejectors, never born again, in Heaven.
When a person is born again, they are completed """in Christ.""""
= They are "made righteous" by God, through the Cross of Christ.....so, this is to start....as completed.
If you are born again, then you came to the Cross by Faith, as an ungodly sinner, yet sinning, and God made you righteous with the Cross of Christ and instantly you Spiritually became as if you've never sinned. "Made Righteous"... "one with God"... "In Christ".....having received "the GIFT of Righteousness".
And notice......notice, you had not kept the commandments, or been water baptized, or worried about the Law....>Yet, God took that Cross and His Holy Spirit and made you a "new Creation in Christ". Born again.
God has imputed unto the born again, the gift of Righteousness, and Jesus has become your sin.... all of it.
Being Born again, is the literal proof that this has happened to you..
The devil is no longer your spiritual father and your born again spirit is : "seated in heavenly places, in Christ".
God now and for eternity.....ONLY sees your born again spirit as His redeemed, His Son/Daughter .... having become "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
See that?
That's God's mind......that's His perspective of YOU, if you are truly born again. You have SALVATION.......You have Eternal Life. and God maintains those for you, as you have received this "gift" from God., who completes it.
Philippians 1:6
Salvation is God's Gift to you, through the Cross of Christ....>Its His responsibility as He created it and gave it to you.
He maintains it........and you HAVE IT.
After you die, you will be "conformed into the image of Christ"""
Currently, if you are born again, you are "in Christ", "made righteousness".
Your "old man of sin" is "crucified with Christ".
So, what is left?
What is left is for you, READER, if you are born again.......is......to "work out your salvation".
But wait.....
If Salvation is Jesus on the Cross and you are made righteous , born again, and are "in Christ".. forever...., then what is left to work out, regarding your Salvation?
Saint, You have to work out the mind of your faith., and if you dont, then your spirit is in Christ, God is your Father, but your mind is the "mind of the flesh". = carnal.
That's the carnal mind, and the carnal mind is in rebellion against God and His word and Cross, and will refuse to accept that you dont have to "work to be saved" and "work to stay saved". as that is how the "mind of the flesh", SEES "Salvation".
Paul says of that mind..."are you so FOOLISH having begun in the spirit..(born again).... that you are now trying to stay saved by works (mind) of the flesh"?
See that?
That is LEGALISM, and this broken faith denies the Cross and tries to establish going to heaven and being accepted by God based on SELF EFFORT.,= that is literally SELF righteousness.
To stay out of that mind of the FLESH....You have to learn who you have become, regarding God's perspective,, as the "renewing of you mind".
That is how you "work out your salvation".
Paul refers to those who come into this full revelation of who they have become as "IN Christ'" as : "as many as be perfect".
When you do that, you have put on one of the parts of the "armor of God"., which is the The Helmet of your Salvation.
Now.....Here is a vital revelation for you.... if you are born again.
When you get your faith right as the "renewing of your mind", you begin at that very moment to wear the helmet of your Salvation,... and without it none of the other parts of the Armor of God will work for your spiritual or literal benefit.
And that allows the "fiery darts" of the Devil (LUST) to hit you and penetrate.
The result of that wrong mind..the mind of the flesh, un-renewed..(broken faith)..= all that is wrong with your Christianity that you can't seem to stop doing, or understand why you can't,... that slow inner torture you are experiencing... never gets resolved....and, if you dont get it resolved you will eventually mentally harden against the Grace of God, to the point that when you hear about the Grace of God, you will think its offensive to HEAR.... because there is no self effort, works, water baptism, commandment keeping or law in it that the carnal mind of the flesh needs to hear.
