Do people who have been Born Again, still sin?

Think about this: Deuteronomy 23:3 No Ammonite or Moabite or any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation. Now think about Ruth, the Moabitess, who is the great grandmother in the line of CHRIST. Isn't that a direct contradiction of the decree of GOD? Ruth was a first generation Moabitess and the scripture says NO Moabite or any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD. How can this be reconciled? Does GOD just look the other way and allow Ruth the Moabitess to be in the direct line of CHRIST the Saviour? That would violate GOD Himself, which is utterly impossible, so how can this be?

The answer is Ruth the Moabitess was reborn. She is no longer a Moabitess. She was reborn into GOD's lineage and therefore is now no longer in conflict with GOD's decree. Ruth 1:16 Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your GOD my GOD.

This is exactly what happens to us. We are born sinners and have absolutely no hope of salvation from death. Then GOD made CHRIST who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of GOD. (2Corintians 5:21) Then we are put into CHRIST and brought through the death, burial and resurrection of CHRIST. Ruth having been a Moabite, is similar to being a sinner. Ruth was born with the title of Moabitess, when she committed to Naomi, her status changed —she was reborn with the title of Israelite.
Because we has been reborn a child of GOD, so are we no longer sinners but the righteous in CHRIST.

The term “sinner” is not talking about what you do, but who you are. For example a slave is always a slave, no matter if he is working, eating or sleeping. Regardless of what he does he is always referred to and wears the title “slave.” Slaves have no choice.

Luke 15:7 states that there is joy in heaven when a sinner repents. A sinner who repents from his sin and realizes his need for the saving grace of CHRIST is then put into the death, burial and resurrection of CHRIST and then becomes a new creation in CHRIST. He is now no longer a sinner. Who he is, has been changed.

Think about the Hebrews after they crossed the Red Sea. Are they still slaves? NO. When they crossed through the Sea, they were immediately set free from Pharaoh. Before the Red Sea, their title was "slave." After crossing the Red Sea, their title changed from "slave" to "free" When we are put into CHRIST, we are immediately made free men. But the Hebrews for their entire lives have done slave work, so what will they most likely try to do first thing after they cross? Before they were freed, they had no choice. After being freed, they could choose what to do and it was very easy to do what they always have done: slave work, unless they listen to Moses, who was directed by GOD. A new Christian will still volunteer to do his previous slave work, (sin) unless he chooses to be under the direction and control of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Now that I have been put into the death, burial and resurrection of CHRIST I am no longer a slave to sin and therefore I no longer bear the title of "sinner." While we live in this world, we are still tied to the old nature, however we are the new man, not the old and now bear the title of “righteous”

Because of the old nature we still sin, but that doesn't make us sinners. For example, a dog is not a dog because he barks. A dog can be trained to act in a way not natural to him, but that doesn't make him anything other than a dog. Eventually the dog will revert back to what is natural to a dog. Chimps can be trained to put on clothes and act similar to children but they are not children because they act like children, they are still chimps. I could speak German but that doesn't make me a German. You have to be born of German parents to be German. What I am saying is that we are not sinners because we sin; we sin because we were born sinners. By the same token, we cannot be Godly, unless we are born of GOD. That is why we need to be "Born Again." When we are born again in CHRIST, we are no longer "sinners," we are righteous because we have been born by CHRIST’s blood into GOD's family. Once we have accepted the gift of Salvation through CHRIST, we longer wear the title of “sinner.”

Having been been “Born Again,” we now have two natures, because the adamic sinful nature is still tied to us until we physically die. We still retain the old nature, while in the phyiscal body, but that is not who we are, because GOD has given us a new nature. If we are not submitted to CHRIST, we will still sin. As we grow in the LORD and more and more submit our ourselves as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), allowing the HOLY SPIRIT to work in us and through us, our righteous nature from CHRIST, which is now our true self will begin to be more and more evident and the old nature less and less evident.

Make no mistake —I am not sayng that we do not sin — but that we no longer wear the title of “sinner.” We now wear the title of “righteous” that says who we are, not what we do.

We can not do anything of ourselves, but must be completely submitted to the control and work of the HOLY SPIRIT as it says in Ephesians 2:9. As new creations in CHRIST, we do not have the power or ability to control the old nature in ourselves. We must be submitted to the power of CHRIST working in and through us.
Phlippians 4:13 I can do all things through CHRIST which strengtheneth me.
Ephesians. 2:11-13 says formerly we were sinners, separate from CHRIST, excluded from citizenship without hope and without GOD. But now in CHRIST JESUS, you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of CHRIST.
Ephesians 2:19 Consequently, you are no longer sinners, but fellow citizens with GOD and members of GOD household, We can no longer be sinners and be part of GOD.
Galations 5:13 You, my brothers, were called to be free.
Galations 5:16 So I say, live by the SPIRIT, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
Galations 5:24-25 Those who belong to CHRIST JESUS have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the SPIRIT, let us keep in step with the SPIRIT. (in other words let the HOLY SPIRIT work in and through us)
Ephesians 4:1 As a prisoner for the LORD, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. And yet we must remember, that it is not us.
Galations 2:19-21 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for GOD. I have been crucified with CHRIST and I no longer live, but CHRIST lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of GOD, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of GOD, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, CHRIST died for nothing!"

These scriptures here are speaking of the new man. In other scriptures the continuous battle with the old nature is addressed, here however we learn that our new nature is no longer a sinner, but reborn with the righteous nature of CHRIST.
