The new creation is our soul, but not our body! Our soul is sealed with the promised Holy Spirit until the day of redemption! It's our down payment of our inheritance! (ref. Ephesians 1:13-14 kjv Redemption is when we get our renewed glorified body at the rapture! This describes our soul being spiritually cut away from our bodies! Colossians 2:11 kjv In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
@lapalm111 Amen! We are saved because of grace through faith in Christ. Our works doesn't save us. We do good works (doers of the word) because we are saved not to be saved.
of course! Ephesians 2: 8-9 KJV For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
@lapalm111 Amen. That's how he sees all believers in Christ. We can't work for righteousness we're made righteous in Christ. As believers we should be practicing the righteousness that we have been given Christ (1 John 3)
I say "me" because I have to make it personal, in other words I had to have experienced God to be able to say me! Yes, it does apply to all true believers! What make me a true believer is that I believe in what Jesus did in 1Corinthian 15:1-4 kjv Believing in the Blood! 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Therefore, when God sees me, He sees me as pure, perfect, and complete, because He sees me in Christ!
I'm righteous because of that!
