You seem to be too full of yourself to comprehend what I'm about to post for you,...

Full of myself? I'm not one of those who run around claiming they're already saved before Christ even judges them.

Jesus has told us those who do not believe have already been judged.

Do you believe Jesus died for your sins and offers you forgiveness if you believe?

19“Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord; 20and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you,..Acts 3:19-20

Those who entrust themselves to Christ alone are already forgiven of sin and from being sinners. As such, they are ready judged.

Christ has already judged those who put their faith in Him.

We are forgiven, clothed in the righteousness of Christ Himself, His righteous life and deeds being credited to our account.

Do you really understand what forgiveness is all about?

It's about the record of debt that stood against us having been canceled, nailed to the cross. ALL sin forgiven, freely and without condition. That's what forgiveness is. If forgiveness isn't freely granted, then it's not forgiveness, it's wages due for work performed.

You can't merit forgiveness of grace because if you merit them, they are wages due, and they lose their meaning. It's no longer forgiveness and grace. It becomes what God owes us for our performance.

We have been born from above, born again, of the incorruptible seed of Christ. We have been given a new spiritual nature that is sinless. We have been crucified with Christ and we no longer live but Christ lives in us. The life I now live I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. Since I am now spiritually alive to God and spiritually dead to sin, when this body of flesh, which is prone to sin, dies, all that is going to be left of me is the born again, sinless nature, which is judged righteous because it has no sin.

You have it wrong. Others have already told you.
