the definition of sin means to miss the mark, our mark as Christians is heaven.
A sinner is not someone that sins, a sinner is someone the habitually sins and doesn't' ask or want forgiveness..
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD"
The bible says that for a believer to worry is a sin, disobedience is a sin, worshipping another as GOD is a sin, sex outside of marriage is a sin and so on. A person who does these things, then understands that they are wrong and repents for them and follows GOD is no longer a sinner, Just because you sin doesn't' make you a sinner it makes you a person who has sinned.
We are not born sinners, we are born into sin with a sin nature, therebye giving us the ability to sin.

A sinner is anyone who has failed to live up to the standards God has set. The scriptures tell us that all have sinned and come short of God's glory (Rom. 3:23). So, we are all sinners.
Accepting Christ as Savior and Lord does not bring an end to our status as sinners, but it changes our standing. It brings us forgiveness for our sin and fixes the relationship with God.

We are all sinners, but are subject to forgiveness through Jesus Christ. Someone who continues to sin by deliberately committing sins with full knowledge of the consequences is an unrepentant sinner.

A sinner is a person who does something that they know is wrong, regardless what religion they are. Sin is very interesting because when someone has sinned, they always know it.

We are all sinners. We are born with a sin nature that separates us from God and is the basis of our need for a savior. A sin is lying, cheating, stealing, breaking any law (this includes traffic laws), etc.

Everyone has fallen short of the glory of God and is a sinner. If you have broken any of the 10 commandments you have sinned (ie lied, stolen, lusted, coveted etc). The only one who was ever completely sinless was Jesus.
This is why we need to accept the gift of eternal life through his death on the cross. He paid the penalty for our sins to reconcile us to God.

The bible describes a sin as transgression of Gods laws, (the ten commandments in general). All sinners(liars, thieves, adulterers(looking with lust), blasphemers(useing Gods nome in vain) will have their part in the lake of fire. We broke Gods laws, Jesus Christ paid our fine, He suffered and died on a cruel cross to provide a way for us to be forgiven for our sin. We all deserve Hell but ONLY through repentance(confessing and foresaking our sin) and trusting in Jesus Christ can we be forgiven. God offers us salvation, Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life no one goes to the Father but by Him, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess Jesus as Lord! Islam cant save, Buddism, Hunduism, Mormon, J.W. or any other religion cant save you, these are all based on work righteousness(what you can do). Only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ can you be saved from sin, death and Hell. There is nothing more important than your eternal salvation.

We are.
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
sin means - to miss the mark
The good news is that Jesus shed His precious blood on the cross for your sins and for mine. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." Acts 16:31 (saved from the penalty of sin)
Read and study the bible, keep asking questions and check them against the Word of God.
Hope this helps.

A living or material object that is differnt from another object or part of an object, either by space or identification. A uniqueness. A trespass. A debt. Difference from the Will of one part of God to another part of God in material sense or otherwise. God divided into sin or creation!
