The subject matter is arguably controversial. It would simply suggest that God's work of redemption was hindered by the Devil's presence and that God ultimately needed him to bring about our victory. According to what the Bible teaches about us, I firmly believe that we are both the righteousness of God in Him and that He is now our very righteousness. I'm sure we share in the Divine nature. Because we "walk in the light as He is in the light," there is no condemnation for us.
Death is of the devil; do not succumb to it. You can live a righteous life in this sinful world.
In the modern church, the entire message of seclusion from the world is vague and deceiving. After we are born again, according to some of the churches, we still possess our "fallen nature." That is the sinful nature that fell from heaven and was brought into Adam. This means that you have the nature of the devil, which is contrary to the word of God (2 Corinthians 5:17). He is solely capable of forgiving us and giving us eternal life. He is able to change our ingrained nature.
A man cannot have the Devil's nature in him and be in Christ. He belongs to either the divine family or the evil family. I John 3:10 states, "In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest." With this muddled idea, there can be no genuine growth in faith and no robust, successful Christian life. Either we are or we are not New Creations. Either we have transitioned from death to life, or we haven't. He truly means it when he declares, "Sin shall not lord it over you." If a life is lived. It is as simple as ABC. Do not be deceived God word is not confusing rather is it difficult to understand, knowing who we are in Christ, how the Father sees us, and what He thinks of us is the church's top priority right now according Ephesians 1:3...
In Christ, this has already been completed. In Christ, you are whole and complete before Him.
However, God has dealt with the issue of sin through His Son. By the death of that Son, He has destroyed sin. He has established a legal framework that enables a man who is in union with Satan and is spiritually dead to become a New Creation by obtaining God's very nature and life. God's nature and way of being are righteousness. As a result, the man who has received the nature of God is, by default, the Righteousness of God in Christ. He may not be aware of this, and he may not be using it to his advantage, but it is true. The clergy who have preached sin instead of Christ and made sin consciousness in the Church a reality have encouraged, cultivated, and created a new creation. Death is no longer for you but for the devil and his cohorts.
