Subject: Are christians sinners or not? |
Bible Note: Hi Brother John! Long time no see (or in this case post :) )! I pray all is well with you... I understand where you are coming from. I would not go up to an unbeliever and say 'I am not a sinner' for the reasons you outlined. I would not even argue the point with some believers I know. I simply don't think of myself as a hamartolos. I think of myself as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (as a man thinks in his heart, so is he). Now, have I sinned after being born again? YES!! But since learning about 1 John 1:9, I quickly take advantage of His cleansing... :) May you continue to know that He has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Meredith |
