Am I a Sinner or a Saint?

 Often respected Christians will call themselves sinnerss.  Every human being sins, but are all human beings considered sinners? 



After accepting Jesus Christ, you are no longer defined as a "sinner" by identity, but rather a "saint" and a child of God. However, because human nature remains, you may still commit sins, requiring ongoing grace and daily repentance.The transition from being considered a "sinner" to a follower of Christ changes how God views you and how you should view yourself:Your New Identity: 

The Bible describes believers as "saints", "new creations", and the "righteousness of God". Your fundamental identity is no longer bound to your past failures, but to what Jesus accomplished.The Reality of Sin: While your essential identity changes, your fallen human nature remains. 

You will still stumble and make mistakes. The difference is that you are no longer a "slave" to sin; you have the Holy Spirit inside you, giving you a desire to pursue righteousness.

The Role of Repentance: When a believer sins, it does not mean they lose their salvation. Instead, they are encouraged to confess their sins, as God is faithful to forgive and cleanse them

If you're saved by His grace,  you are a saint.
