Living for Him,
I said...
Not only me, but you as well if you have been born again. You have been made completly perfect in Gods eyes the instant Christ indwelt you. Christs rightiousness...and that of course is 100% sinless perfection...is imputed to every believer at the instant of their new birth. I am speaking of how God sees us...meaning positionally. Not how we might be behaving.
Our justification and eternal security is based on our 100% identification with Christ. Our practical sanctification is something that can improve...or digress. We will always be a "work in progress" in that regard. But all of that practical growth is from the perspective of rest and complete security, because our "position" is unchanging in any way through the imputation of Christs sinless rightiousness to us, permanently, at the moment we are born again. When we are born again Jesus Christ becomes our life, our rightiousness, and our security.

And you said..."Every born again person has been...positionally...made perfect in Gods eyes."
Both."Please clarify, are you saying that you are perfect in God's eye now or only the moment that you die?"
