I am a sinner

by | Jun 29, 2025

I am a sinner.
  • To some, this is an incorrect statement; it doesn’t exist.
  • To others, this is an empty statement, accepted and meaningless.
  • To many, this is a shameful admission, a low view of self.

And to the few, this is a statement of life.

This statement is the foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ.
For without understanding this one simple truth, we do not need a Lord of Saviour.
You see, those who do not believe being a sinner is real are blinded by their ways so that they would not need to see the sin in their life.
Those who use it as an empty statement only understand half of the gospel. They receive salvation and do not accept the joy that comes with sanctification. There is such a thing as a miserable Christian who’s only hope is in heaven after this life, not in the life God gave them.
And then there are the ones that only see the shame in sin. While they may receive salvation and desire sanctification, they’re so ashamed of their sinful state that they don’t believe God can fix them or use them.
They simply exist.
The ones that get it, the few that walk the narrow path, understand the nuances, the paradoxes, and the light of Christ. They walk in mercy and grace of God, while receiving the conviction of the Holy Spirit to walk in the path of the law.
There is nothing wrong with the self-realization that we might be in any of the first three groups. The problem is our desire to stay there, because it’s comfortable, because it’s what we know.
I am a sinner. And now I get to choose what to do with that truth.

Why does the world hate the concept of sin?

Why does the world hate the concept of sin?

Why does the world hate the concept of sin?

They say it’s because it’s a religious construct in order to control people.

In reality, it’s looking at our deepest, darkest, and ugliest flaws and desires and knowing we have no hope of defeating them. Every single human is tempted by their sin.

Sin starts as a tiny seed, and yet is so powerful that it not only brings death and destruction in our earthly realm but also to our eternity in the spiritual realm.

It’s such an all-encompassing disease that progresses through the life of all mankind it took a loving God with immense grace to come to us as a man, show us the example of what it’s like to be sinless, and then save us from our own sin.
