Summary
When we get born again, we receive a new nature and become as perfect and flawless in God’s eyes as Jesus Himself. God sees everyone who has accepted Christ as completely righteous; however, we’ll still continue falling short and committing sinful acts while on our Christian journey. The difference between the old and the new is that God no longer holds our sins against us because our old, sinful selves have died. Our righteousness is permanent, and we can never sin it away. Full confidence in what Christ did on the cross for us changes our thinking, corrects our behavior, and results in a decision to reject sin.
