- The blood of Christ cleanses us 100%
- Our life is hidden with Christ - He is our life (we were put in Him by God)
- Believers are made God's children because of His life in us
- Our identity is in Him
- Though we saints may sin, we are no longer identified specifically as "sinners"
If none of the above is clear, I suggest reading through this thread, which gives various verses and illustrations regarding the matter. (or just ask) |
The Bible does say (1 John 1:8-10, BLB) “if we should say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we should confess our sins, He is faithful and just, that He may forgive us our sins and might cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we should say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
