Boldness of righteousness 2 | Davies Bamigboye

We have not meditated enough on what it means to be “made” righteous. If we do, the way we pray or even relate to God would be different. In 2 Cor 5:21, the phrase “made righteous” is from the Greek word “gimomai” - and it is a derivative of the English language word “gene”. Since in human context, a child’s gender is dermined by the “gene” of the father, so the believer’s spiritual gender is determined by the “gene” of God.
If your spiritual gene is from God and God is righteous, then it should not be difficult to believe that righteousness is the spiritual gene of the believer. We should never have to have a debate about this or engage in mindless argument. To believe otherwise will lead to spiritual confusion or spiritual gender dysphoria.
So, when I hear someone say that a believer is a sinner, they have not believed this truth. Let me show you another scripture in 1 John 3:9. It says: “No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God's nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.”
1 John 3:9 AMPC
The divine sperm determines the gene of the child. God’s divine sperm is righteous and holy - and that is what He transferred to the believer at spiritual conception. Such a person can’t practice sin. Why? The nature of God permanently abides in him.
Rom 5:1 TPT affirms this truth:
“Our faith in Jesus transfers God’s righteousness to us and he now declares us flawless in his eyes. This means we can now enjoy true and lasting peace with God, all because of what our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, has done for us.”
A believer’s identity is not that of sin. How could it be when he has been born of God? Except we are saying God is a sinner! God forbid! It is a travesty to even have long conversations about this.
If you think you are a sinner or a believer who still has a sin nature, you have not believed the scriptures. Religion has convinced us that when we are born again, we are not really made new. We’re just a “forgiven version” of the same old person. Then, they go as far as to say that despite the promise of a new heart and spirit, we maintain our old nature alongside what God does in us. Therefore, we don’t have a completely new nature; we now have a dual nature: our old sinful nature exists alongside a new nature in Christ. This sets our entire journey with Jesus off course. It means the rest of our life on earth is spent in a struggle between the two natures. That is like someone suffering from MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder)
A christian is not revamped in heart and spirit but totally brand new. In the new birth, God doesn’t clean our spirit and heart; He makes us new, i.e., a new creation. "New Creation" is "Kainos Ktisis" in Greek and means a creation "not found exactly like this before." or “never been seen before in the history of the universe." Or “superior to what it succeeds" The Greek word used to describe the new creation is like the same way God created the heavens and the earth from nothing in Gen 1:1.
