That’s where you’re wrong and don’t understand the new birth. The new birth is the creation of a “new creature.” A divine nature that has no capacity nor desire to sin, yet, we still deal with an unredeemed body. God promises those whom He justifies, sanctifies, and cleans, that one day we will have a glorified body to house our redeemed souls. The new creature the Spirit of God has created cannot die. When I made a decision for Christ, it was an eternal commitment that brought about a supernatural spiritual change within that cannot be altered. We are being conformed into the image and likeness of Christ. In the end, the word of God states clearly, that we will be likened unto Him. What God begins, He finishes! Those who accept Christ are immediately declared justified, sanctified, and cleansed —— FOREVER! The desire to live lives of holiness and purity resides within us; we despise the sin that plagues our humaness. We do not see and understand God’s forgiveness, justification, and sanctificatin as a “license to sin.” Those who think so, or believe in such a way do not know God, do not understand the Scriptures, and have not truly been born-again.
“Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’ “
AMEN!!!!!!!
