Yes Jesus did the work, but yes also we receive the work done in us. Transformation through identification. No longer "I" that lives but Christ that lives in me. Roamns 7 the last part says. I see a war in me, the one who follows Jesus. Inside there are parts of me that don;t want to conform to Him and other parts that want to. Which then is the real me??? His conclusion? The part of me that wants to give His life totally to God is the real me but the other me fights it. That is theflesh nature in me. That selfish part that holds and possess all things. The work has been done for us Judith. Done securely and It is finnished no other work is necessary for our salvation. For our fellowship with God the Father. For our acceptance into the beloved. But for us to be more like Him then we have to hold the things of Christ to us and this is holiness. The holiness that without which no man shall see God is already given to us in Christ. But the holiness that will know Him better the way He really is, is the power that is given to us to change and be like Him, in this way pleasing Him and understanding Him more. This holiness does not effect your eternal slavation but your walk with God. Salvation is complete by receiving Christ. But understanding God your Father and walking with Him is only truely understood in everyday life. So it is part of growing in God because your body, which is the part of you being sanctified (in this we include our brains) is unredeemable and therefore it must still die eventually. So no matter how "good" you get you will never be "good" enough for heaven. So you will get a new body.
