Same answer as: Where do you think sinners will be in Christ?
We all sin, all our life. That's that. Past, present and future, we all have, are, and will sin.
We can't stop it. We just have to rely on the Holy Spirit to help us avoid sin.
As long as we accept Christ and His gift of salvation and let Him control our lives, then we are saved.
Your monkey neighbor. huahooo
I think you're missing one fact, and that is that we are born again,
BY, THROUGH, AND BECAUSE OF THE WORD OF GOD.
Without the word of God abiding in our hearts, there is no continued salvation. For the life of the body is in the blood, which is the seed of the Holy Ghost, whereby we are sealed.
Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also
after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Eph 1:14 Which is [that is, the word of truth is] the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Again, Jesus said in Jn 6:53 and 56, "except ye eat My flesh and drink my blood, ye have
NO LIFE IN YOU", but those who did eat and drink Jesus' flesh and blood respectively, dwell in Him and He in them.
How do we eat Jesus' flesh?
By coming to Him with your heart. For He said, "He that cometh to me shall never
hunger, ..."
And how do we drink His blood"
By believing ON and IN Him with your heart, that He will do what He said in His word, or that which is written. For it is written, "... he that believeth on Me shall never
thirst."
Because Jesus also said, Joh 6:55 For
my flesh is meat indeed, and
my blood is drink indeed.
Without going into a bunch of scripture, Jesus' blood is both the Holy Ghost or the Word of God.
And also it is written that Jesus is both the truth and the WORD of God.
And because John said in 1Jn 2:24 that if the truth remains in you, then you will abide in Christ. Which also means that if you don't keep the truth of His word in your heart, then neither will you abide in Him.
This is not about sinning.
It's about rejecting truths from His word.
1Jn 1:10
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and
his word is not in us.
Look at how rejecting the fact that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, causes His word to leave our hearts.
Again, we are born again by that same said word of God, so if we reject parts of truths of His word, we reject Him and His blood. And without that, we have no life abiding in us.
That is why I have been centering on those who fail to KEEP the truth of God's word in their hearts, and those who HATE and/or cannot both see or receive the truth of His word.
This would not apply to those who are babes in Christ.
As for the rest who cannot receive simple truths of the gospel, such as corresponding works of faith and WOF, are none of His.
In this, Jesus said you shall know them by their fruits (plural).
