We believers have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness, and are entirely new creation of the Lord being established in the Kingdom of God.
While in the body we are subject to temptations to sin. But our salvation is secure because we are citizens of the Heavenly Kingdom. Hallelujah!
“This is the life-giving message we heard him share and it’s still ringing in our ears. We now repeat his words to you: God is pure light. You will never find even a trace of darkness in him. If we claim that we share life with him, but keep walking in the realm of darkness, we’re fooling ourselves and not living the truth. But if we keep living in the pure light that surrounds him, we share unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, continually cleanses us from all sin. But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time. God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” ~~ 1 John 1:5-7, 9 (TPT).
