Are Christians saints or sinners?
1 Tim 1:15-16
"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst."
We expect Paul to say he was the worst.
Instead he indicates that he is still the worst of sinnners even after being saved.
Yet he calls all the Christians in Ephesus "saints". (Eph. 1:1)
Saints=holy ones= the opposite of sinners.
So are we saints or sinners?
We are simultaneously both.
At the same time saint and sinner.
Sinners by deed, saints by grace through faith in Jesus.
