In the book "Galatians Seen from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit" by God's servant Paul C. Jong of The New Life Mission, he helps us realize through the Word the message that Galatians gives to the church today: that although it can never be obtained by human deeds, one becomes a righteous person and obtains the status of God's children by believing in the ministry of Christ's baptism and the blood on the Cross.
If we are found sinners even after believing in Jesus, is that the right answer?
The Apostle Paul says that it is certainly not so. After presenting the hypothesis in Galatians 2:17, "But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners," the Apostle Paul immediately nails it down by saying, "is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!"
Everyone, does a person who believes in the gospel of the water and the Spirit become a sinner just because he commits sin again?
"Being found sinners" means that the remnants of the old nature are revealed through one's deeds; it does not mean that the person's status changes.
When a born-again person reveals his shortcomings and mistakes in his daily life, it does not mean that his born-again state has become invalid or that his status as a righteous person has changed into that of a sinner. It is merely that the flesh, which is the remnant of the old nature, remains as it is and is manifested through actions.
The Apostle Paul honestly confessed in Romans 7, "For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice" (Romans 7:19). However, he immediately and firmly declared in Romans 8:1, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus," thereby making it clear that the shortcomings of the flesh have no effect whatsoever on the status of a righteous person.
Status and state must be distinguished. Status means the qualification that permanently confirms one has become a righteous person through the once-for-all ministry of Christ, while state refers to the daily life of the process of gradually resembling the resurrected Christ over time even after being born again.
When a born-again person reveals sin, what is shaken is not his status but his state. Even if a born-again person realizes his shortcomings, because of the perfect ministry that saved us from all the sins of the world through the baptism of Christ and the blood on the Cross, the one who believes in this truth is already a righteous person.
Paul C. Jong has strived to convey this truth to readers through the Bible study book titled "Galatians Seen from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit." To the questions, "Am I truly a born-again person? I commit sin again today, but am I still a righteous person?", he confirms that you are already a righteous person by believing in the written Word that all our sins were blotted out once and for all through the baptism Jesus received from John and the blood He shed on the Cross.
