I am not quoting reformed theology on purpose,I am simply trying to figure yours and others points of view.
upon salvation we receive Christ in us and become part of the Body.
If after salvation we partake in evil,would that make God a partaker as well?
If we repent then again and again commit sin which is evil,does this make God a accessory?
No, it would not make God a partaker as well because:
25 ...
with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
-Romans 7:25
The spirit is saved, the flesh is corrupted. The believer is perfected in spirit:
22 .....ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to
the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
-Hebrews 12:22
and cannot sin:
9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:9
We still live in corruptible flesh, which can (and does) commit sin. We live in hope of the future redemption of this corruptible flesh at the promise of His coming:
21 because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit,
the redemption of our body.
-Romans 8:21-23
Therefore, because we are perfected in spirit, but live in corruptible flesh, we have to constantly choose whether we will listen to our spirit, or listen to our flesh. If we listen to the spirit we shall live, and be free of condemnation:
1There is therefore now
no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
-Romans 8:1-4
If we listen to the flesh, we shall die:
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For
to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
-Romans 8:5-7
1It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 to
deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
-1 Corinthians 5:1-5
This is basic WOF doctrine, is it not?
Peace...
