Sinner or Saved by Grace?


Romans 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified
 freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Now I CRINGE every time
 I hear someone take this scripture completely out of context.I hear Christians say well we all
 have fallen and are sinners! NO NO NO this is so not true the bible tells us that we have
 been redeem from sin! No longer slave to sin but slave to righteous, bought with the price
 of Christ blood which has washed us white as snow Hallelujah (Romans 6:6
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done
away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.)
The bible clearly states that we are a NEW creation in Christ Jesus OLD things have Passed away behold we are New(2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.)
This Scripture if read entirely speaks of the old Law that pointed out that we were in need of a savior, because through trying to keep the old Testament law all have failed , fallen short , sinned! But through Christ and his grace we have been redeem from the Curse of the Law through the blood of Jesus. For sin require a sacrifice( Sacrifice were done to show that sin lead to death blood was always shed) A sinner is someone who intentionally sins, that does wrong. I am NOT saying that Christians never mess up or fall into sin, but I am saying that we are Not sinners as Christians we do not go around Sinning or SHOULD NOT BE! For we have the Holy spirit living in side of us directing are path. The bible goes on to tell us who we are in Christ , No were does Jesus say we are still sinners, but he does say we are a new creation in him.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Ask yourself this question next time your tempted to call yourself a sinner , WHAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF JESUS DYING ON THE CROSS??
Psalm 103:12
As far as the east is from the west,So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
