People can neither believe the gospel nor be born again with carnal minds

Christians who identify themselves as 'delivered' sinners think with carnal minds. To be spiritually minded is to believe in God's word. The carnal mind is a human mind. It's human wisdom. The flesh cannot help sinning, but we can become righteous by believing in the baptism and the Cross of Jesus. The Bible says that we can never become righteous and sanctified by trying not to sin.

Can one enter the Kingdom of Heaven by becoming a holy person who never sins again after believing in Jesus? Or is it possible only by the salvation once for all? Are sinners actually made to be righteous by the grace of the remission of sins? It is impossible for you to be righteous with your carnal mind. The flesh never can become righteous. The flesh always wants something to eat whenever it feels hungry.

It is impossible for the flesh to be sanctified because the flesh has lusts and desires. Because of that, we are made righteous only by believing in the water and the blood of Jesus. Can we enter the Kingdom of Heaven by not sinning anymore and cleansing ourselves as pure as snow? It is prideful thinking for a human being, who has the lusts and passions of the flesh, to become sanctified by avoiding to sin. It is impossible.

People can neither believe in the gospel nor be born again because they think about faith with carnal minds. Jesus said, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6).

It is impossible to become righteous with a carnal mind. You may also think it is impossible because you will sin tomorrow, even though how thoroughly you repent and believe in Jesus until today. You may think, 'How can I say I am without sin when I continue sinning even now?' Is it possible for you to become righteous if you think carnally, as the flesh does? It is impossible to become sanctified with the flesh.
