What does the Bible say about the believer's state in this world?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the believer's state as being righteous before God yet still battling the presence of sin.

The believer's state in this world is characterized by a dual reality: a right standing before God through the imputed righteousness of Christ, and the continual struggle against the presence of sin in our lives. In Romans 7:21-25, Paul articulates this tension, recognizing that although believers are justified and righteous in God's eyes, they still struggle with sinfulness. This constant battle highlights our ongoing need for grace, showcasing how we are sinners saved by grace who remain inherently flawed in our earthly existence.
