Seems the more and more I look at social media the more I see this non -sense of people thinking they are not sinners because they think they are saved. We are all sinners, the difference is saved people repent and feel sorrow for there sins and do not make a lifestyle out of sin (they are changed by the Holly Spirit). Whear as the secular world believers do wrong and sin as a lifestyle they feel no sorrow in there sin.
This is basic 101 Christianity and if you dont get it we are missing the mark of Christianity IMO
1 John 1:8
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
I here some say this is not for believers its only for non believers,..... and that is false this is for everyone.
For those that say they do not sin I wonder if they think speeding in a car is a sin,according to the bible it is a sin, not paying your taxes or cheating on them a sin, any time you brake the law of your government you have sinned against God unless the law goes against God law.
Submission to Authorities
Romans 13:1-7
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience.
All wrong doing is sin
1 John 5:17
so many misinformed people are saying christians do not sin, we sin less and do not make it a lifestyle but compared to God the holly one we are sinners by our very nature , that is why we have a mediator Jesus Christ if we did not sin we would not need a mediator would we !! As we grow and mature we change our lifestyle to no longer practice sin, but are still sinners if you just speed, if you forget one time to love your neighbor as yourself, hopefully you get the point.
1 John 2:1
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate before the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
IF can not confess that you are a sinner
1 John 1:8
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
I am amazed blown away and completely sadden on how many do not get this, I pray there eyes are opened, I pray if I am wrong my eyes are opened, but it boils down to this in my eyes we are all sinners the saved are no longer practicing a lifestyle of sin and if they do stumble they feel complete sorrow, and repent. the unsaved live in a lifestyle of sin and no sorrow.
