I am not a sinner, I was a sinner but the day I gave my life to Christ I became the righteousness of God and that granted me access forever into Gods presence and power and that's why I can pray to God and expect answers but the prayer of a sinner is an abomination to God expect the prayer of salvation. But does that mean I'm flawless ? Of course not, I'm dying to the flesh daily and conforming to Christ daily but according to proverbs A JUST MAN FAILS SEVEN TIMES AND RISES UP AGAIN but because he fell doesn't make him a sinner, a sinner is someone without Christ living in him.

First you ask yourself" who is a sinner". Virtually any man or woman you see has sin in one way or the other.Even those that say they are pastor.the bible says that nobody is perfect even one.so what matters here is to have a repentant soul and also have the fear of God in you. And do his work. Shikinah

Yes we all became sinners but why did Jesus die for you? He took all my sins and infirmities, go study your bible Mr. If you that claims to be born again still call yourself a sinner then what differentiates you from those that are not born again? You better stop deceiving yourself and giving yourself excuses to remain in sin because no sinner will enter heaven, calling yourself a sinner has made your Christianity null and void , you better give your life to Christ.

It is a known fact that some of this Jehova witness and even these Winners member that are always on rampage telling people about christ are not close to God or born again . Can you introduce me to a person you don't know ?

That is how a friend told a pretty witness lady to come back later in the day alone for another round of bible teaching, she came and trust my guy nah, they all ended up in his bedroom.

God exists and so does Jesus. You cannot have God's picture because no one has seen him, no one has seen Jesus because there was never a way to shoot his photographs. Just like Gay Lusac the chemist, first queen elizabeth, pythagoras the mathematician etc

How can a sinner go and preach to a fellow sinner to repent??, i mean what will he tell the person...a sinner should first of all evangelise himself.

Hmmm you that's why it is good for a Christian to depart from sin. Yes it do happens. But such individual will go to a distance place to do his evangelism. Because men will always judge you by who you are.

It ain't always like that, sometimes the best person to preach to u against an act is someone who has suffered the consequences of having committed the act

If he truly have realized and suffered the consequences of his sin then he will repent and no longer a sinner then his mess will become his message but not the other way round.

Who is not a sinner on Earth? That should be the first question?


Who is not a sinner?

We were sinners before, but when Christ came some of us were redeemed and our sins were paid for. So those who now acknowledge Jesus as the personal Lord and saviour are nolonger a sinner. Do you get it?


Now listen a Christian is not a sinner and a sinner is not a Christian..

Note. This teaching is very deep, you can Pim me and lets talk about it.

Thank you.

The Samaritan woman told her household about Jesus.

We have two types of sinners

1. Those that are yet to hear about him, this set of people can't evangelize cos they cannot talk about who they didn't know

2. Those that know him but didn't follow his instruction. We called them the "struggling Christians". These set of people can evangelize.

Yes you are right...

Jesus died for our SINS...the wrath of adam and eve's sin was washed away through the water of baptism.

Your quote is right too...but As a Christian, referring myself as a sinner is not pointing to the fact that I am wallowing in sin..
The world we live today is a sinful one , where a single thought against that man that splashed water on your nice cloth on your way to work has transpired into sin, you don't even know if some of your daily actions have transpired into sin against God.Some Christians even after trying their best to keep away from sin all their lives will get to heaven and receive the shock of their mortal life.

It is better to keep seeking God's mercy for sins known and unknown than sit back and keep deceiving oneself that because you are a Christian you are completely righteous in the sight of God and nothing will ever lead you to sin, sinning is not limited to lying ,killing ,stealing,fornication etc.
As for me I will keep seeking God's mercy all the days of my life.

May God help us all
