I agree with you. My earlier response was intended primarily to correct a false theology (again from nostr:nprofile1qqsfepkhw5m6vwqvudc78fyxp0r7r7e2mwegyxl34rcu6n5vuq3ypjgpzemhxue69uhkyetkduhxummnw3erztnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3exjcmgv4ejummjvuhsmknyvs ) that often arises in younger, immature, or heterodox circles where the distinction between Justification and Sanctification is blurred or misunderstood. While your description rightly frames the already/not yet tension of the redeemed life, many “churches” or teachings conflate our legal standing in Christ with our progressive holiness, leading to confusion about the believer’s position before God versus their present experiential reality.

I affirm: Justification is the declaration of righteousness before God, imputed through Christ and received by faith alone; Sanctification is the ongoing work of God in the believer, progressively conforming us to Christ’s image. These realities coexist in the believer’s life: we are perfect in Christ legally, yet imperfect in our daily walk, and both truths glorify God when rightly understood. 🫡🙏⚡️
