#bible Study With #jairus 1 John 3:9 (NIV)

We can analyze it from several aspects. 1 John 3:9 (NIV) says, "No one who is born of God will continue to sin." We were taught that "born of God" here refers to our spirit. Our spirit is holy and, therefore, cannot sin. But our souls and flesh have not been transformed by the life of God, so we will still sin. Because we are still in the transformation process, our soul or flesh isn't holy, which is why we can still sin. I think this makes a lot of sense.

We are composed of 3 parts: body, soul and spirit. As a believer in Christ, God has drawn a boundary that keeps Satan and sin from touching our born again spirits. Even when we sin through our mind, will, or emotions through jealousy, covetousness, etc., our spirit is protected. The same is true when we sin in our flesh, such as stealing, adultery, etc. Nothing can come against our born again spirit, which is sealed by God. When you are born again, you become one spirit with God (1 Corinthians 6:17). An unbeliever committing the same sins does not have that protection, and his spirit can die.
When we are born again, our spirit is sinless and holy. In Charismatic circles, the saying is: we are a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. Our true new man, which is the spirit, is saved, yet our unregenerate body is still compelled to sin and taints our soul to some extent. Our spirit remains pure and holy, regardless of the body's sin.

Our body, soul, and spirit can be compared to a gold mine. Gold represents our spirit, our soul is represented by a stone, and our flesh would be like the dirt. If you are an experienced geologist or gold miner, you don't focus on the stone or the dirt all over it. You are only concerned with whether there is gold inside that stone.

Although we are born again, we still struggle with sin and tend to focus on the dirt or sin. It's hard for us to look past the dirt because we feel so bad about our sins. When God looks at us, he only sees the gold. Even though He's aware of our sin, He values us based on our pure born again spirit that was cleansed by Jesus' blood on the cross. He understands that we are in the process of allowing the dirt to be removed so that the gold can shine through the stone. We look at our problems through time, but God looks at them through eternity. His angle is entirely different.

The reason I said that we are no longer sinners but saints and holy people of God's kingdom, is viewed from the perspective of God and eternity. We were chosen before the creation of the world. We know that sin came after Genesis 3. Once we are saved, we have eternal life, and God looks at us from an eternal perspective. Although we may still sin, God knows that there is a process for us to change and be sanctified. This problem will be solved over time.
