One cannot be a sinner and righteous at the same time. God is light and Him is no darkness at all. Jesus teaches us His righteousness He puts in us. He cannot, will not fail, or fall. The Word says He will keep us from falling. If His seed remain in us, We cannot sin. Jesus came and died to save sinners, but, We do not remain in sin nor remain sinners.
The Word says if we sin, we have Jesus Christ our advocate. The Word says “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: But the wicked shall fall into mischief.” The just don’t stay in sin. They get up! They seek God acknowledge, confess, repent. They choose enmity to sin. They stay moving forward. Sin does not reign. Sin has no power over them. Soon they slip and fall no more because God puts His Spirit in us and restores us into His image after His likeness. There is no sin in that state of mind and life. The soul’s will must be surrendered completely to the will of God. The must make God our choice every-day. Period.
If we accept the free gift of Christ, being justified—we are made righteous. The just shall live by faith. We are no longer a sinner—“so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous”. Christ righteousness is in us if we choose His free gift. His righteousness remains in us if we choose to die daily not living after the flesh; but, living daily surrendered to God’s will, living by faith—the Holy Spirit God puts in us causes us to be hearers and doers of His Word. We live by faith in the Spirit of God.
Remember:
“Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.”
Psalm 1:5 KJV. (Proverbs 12:3, 7; Proverbs 11:21)
“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (for until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.
For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 5:1-21 KJV
