You seem to be not making the distinction between the fact we are still living in a sin corrupted body - and our inner spiritual life. Jesus was the first sinless man - Most of the people could not see who He truly was, and saw Him as just another man. Because outwardly He looked like any other man. (He had no beauty that we should desire Him) I look like like other human beings, but something wonderful has happened inside me.

I still make mistakes and have faults. They are not sins. I repent of them when I should but I don't confess them as sin. Sin has to do with evil. Jesus said to the unsaved who were listening to Him "If you being evil. no how to give good gifts to your children" etc.

I'm not evil any more. I am a son of my heavenly Father - and like any son I need to be instructed and disciplined by HIm. Paul even says He scourges us - that we might learn to be Godly, That is a normal family process . I'm born of my heavenly Father - I am like Him - a holy son with my Fathers nature, bi4now
