Jesus "became our sin"......on the Cross, and we became "the righteousness of GOD.......IN CHRIST".
God and Christ and the Holy Spirit, could not live IN US< if we were sinners.
We have to be as righteous as they are, for them to exist IN US.
Being born again, has made us a "new creation" in Christ, and that is our born again Spirit that is "made Righteous".
That's how they live IN us, who are born again. = "Christ IN YOU, the hope of Glory". "Glory " is heaven.
The word say murder not inherit kg who ever did it is the Word not my word and I believe it
The problem is not wether I am still sin or not the problem is what the Word say
If I have the authority to change the word, I will make everything you do you go to heaven, because easier for me
Unfortunately I am not God and don't have authority to make the rule
God make little easy, if you do sin repent He will forgive you otherwise God not a liar
He say murder not inherit, who ever found murder not inherit

Murderers will not inherit the kingdom of God, that's why a murderer needs the righteousness of Christ. When a murderer receives the righteousness of Christ through the new birth he is no longer a murderer. He is righteous! Why? Because Christ is righteous! All the things that are true about Christ belongs to the believer.
Amen. Yes, indeed. Once I was regenerated, I knew I was no longer my own but belonged to the Lord. As a result of my regeneration, I have the convicting Spirit of God in me, and I am chastised at every wrong turn I make in my flesh.
Although I am not perfectly sinless, all of the prompting of/by God causes me to sin less and less and less as time goes by. Will I ever be perfectly sinless? Not likely, but I do have my perfectly sinless and completely righteous Savior and Lord Jesus Christ that covers me. I know I have an advocate in Jesus for when I stumble into sin, but by the continual conviction of/by the Holy Spirit that lives in me, I know I am eternally saved.
Because I know I am eternally saved, I will always follow my Lord, and my Lord calls on me to be obedient to His commands. I will follow Him and I will fall short. So, I will confess my falls and failures and He will forgive me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Then I will continue on the narrow path with my Lord, my advocate, my helper, and my comforter. The narrow path is the difficult way, and it is the only way to eternal life.

Let me show you something interesting..
"the narrow way"................... vs.............>"the broad way".........
Jesus said......I am THE way................See that? that is your "narrow way"......>its Him.....>He is the only way to heaven.
And that is NARROW, as its specifically only ONE........ John 14:6
Now, what is the "broad way" that leads to..........destruction..........that is hell, the 2nd death, and damnation.......Its this John 3:36.
So, the broad way, is RELIGION, is self effort, is everything a person can try to do, of THEMSELVES to have relationship with God, that can only be accomplished by Jesus.
So, the "broad way" is the SELF way.
The Narrow way, is........Jesus Himself.............. John 14:6

This what Jesus say
Matt 7
13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
True and False Prophets
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
True and False Disciples
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Evil fore not go to heaven narrow because must bear fruit of Holy Spirit
