What is a sinner? And how is that different than one who just sins & goes to God for forgiveness?

Question

I believe we are all sinners until Jesus washes away all our sins, by confession & heart faith. Then we walk in the righteousness of Christ for His blood covers our unknown sins. The knowing sins He disciplines.

When we do sin, we confess our sin and He is faithful & just to forgive us & cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He who is born of God sins not... (comfortable habitual sins) A born-again christian cannot make sinfull behavior a comfortable habit for one is sealed with the Holy Spirit.

Answer 1

We are ALL sinners. The Bible tells us that all have fallen short of the glory of God.

Christians are just forgiven of their sins by their faith in Jesus Christ (not by anything good they do -- it's simply because Jesus offered that salvation for free to ANYONE who wants to accept it).

So don't be confused: you, I and everyone else are sinners.

Answer 2

Everyone is a sinner, the difference is whether you realize at the time that you are sinning and do something to stop it. You can sin, you can sin and ask God for forgiveness, but if you aren't actually remorseful and if you don't actually do anything to stop yourself from sinning again then you aren't really remorseful. I can tell you I'm sorry for stealing your car and you can forgive me, but if I turn around and steal your bike, then I'm not really sorry am I?

Answer 3

We are ALL sinners. The ones who go to God in true repentance for their sins are forgiven sinners.

Answer 4

People who sin ARE sinners. Even Christains when they mess up and they do. (There is none perfect except God)
People are usaully talking of those you refuse to repent.
That doens't mean that when Chirstians do wrong that we aren't sinners. We are.
It's a differecne between what people say and what God says.

Answer 5

Well, all of us are sinners, but some of us are forgiven.
