This has nothing to do with the SIN nature and everything to do with our physical body.
Romans 6.1-14 tells us what happened to our sin nature.
6 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? [SUP]2 [/SUP]By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? [SUP]3 [/SUP]Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? [SUP]4 [/SUP]We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. [SUP]6 [/SUP]For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[SUP][
a][/SUP] that we should no longer be slaves to sin— [SUP]7 [/SUP]because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. [SUP]9 [/SUP]For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. [SUP]10 [/SUP]The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. [SUP]12 [/SUP]Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. [SUP]14 [/SUP]For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
The sin nature will be there until our bodies have been CHANGED by Him into a body that cannot even Think SIN.
Do you know anything about the GREEK fourth primary verb tense called the perfect tense, that DOES NOT IMPLY PERFECTION, but rather the ONGOING lifestyle direction of striving to do that verb?
KEEP, in the following verse is in that ONGOING lifestyle direction of striving to KEEP:
1 John 2:3-4 (ASV)
[SUP]
3 [/SUP] And hereby we know that we know him, if we
keep his commandments.
[SUP]
4 [/SUP] He that saith, I know him, and
keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;
THAT VERB TENSE, that we do not have in English, is the source of your confusion. NO WAY does that verse say we are perfect at keeping, but rather that we are those whose lifestyle characteristics are marked by our continuous striving to KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS OUT OF LOVE. WE are NOT perfect, but we are those who
PRACTICE Righteousness, and as we
PRACTICE we do get better at it, but we will not have become sinless until HE CHANGES OUR BODIES.
1 Corinthians 15:53 (ASV)
[SUP]
53 [/SUP] For this corruptible
{sinful body} must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
WHEN?
1 Corinthians 15:52 (ASV)
[SUP]
52 [/SUP] in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
Psalm 106:3 (NASB)
[SUP]
3 [/SUP] How blessed are those who keep justice, Who
practice righteousness at all times!
1 John 3:10 (ESV)
[SUP]
10 [/SUP] By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not
practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
NO, you are still a sinner, even though you have been saved by grace. Time to humble yourself and study more about what GOD considers SIN. You are not better than the worst sinner on DEATH ROW, you are as BAD AS HIM; because both of you and all the rest of us, have broken ALL OF GOD'S LAWS.
James 2:10 (NIV)
[SUP]
10 [/SUP]
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.
Tell me truthfully, how much of your life, your words, your thoughts, your attitudes, your hobbies, your possessions, your anger, your entertainment, your work, etc., personally is NOT OF FAITH:
Romans 14:23 (NIV)
[SUP]
23 [/SUP] But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith;
and everything that does not come from faith is sin.
Salvation is instantaneous the very moment we FIRST BELIEVE in our Human Spirit.
SANCTIFICATION of the body is an ongoing struggle our whole lives to become more and more like CHRIST.
Philippians 3:12-14 (NIV)
[SUP]
12 [/SUP]
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
[SUP]
13 [/SUP] Brothers,
I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
[SUP]
14 [/SUP] I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Anyone teaching you CONTRARY to that TRUTH, is teaching you a lie. Many false prophets and prophetesses have come into the world, teaching deceiving messages. Please return to the teachings of Paul and the other Disciples.
