Those who are unconcerned about their sin because they have been "covered in the blood", very likely were never born again and are not covered in the blood.
Philippians 2:5-18 "5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Lights in the World
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
If you do not care that you are sinning, then you do not have the mind of Christ nor do you desire it, you are not born again.
What does it look like when we have been born again according to these scriptures?
1. Humility
2. Emptying of Self
3. Obedient to Death
4. Bowing Before God in Obedience
5. Confessing Christ and His Truth, loving to speak of Him.
6. God is working in you. God is not working in someone who refuses to obey Him, someone who takes His word lightly, even ignoring it completely.
If you lack these qualities are described in God's Word, then it would be good to ask God if you ever became born again. One cannot be in Christ and love their sin, so much so that they are willing to parade it, promote it and brag about it.
