Dear Born-again, Redeemed, Blood-washed and Forgiven, Grace-covered and Justified, Set Apart, New Creation, Heir of God and Joint Heir with Christ, Temple of the Holy Spirit, Child of God,
Please stop referring to yourself as a “sinner.”
You are not.
You don’t carry that identity anymore.
Yes, you sometimes commit sins, but nowhere does the New Testament refer to saved persons as sinners.
Yes, you’re a work in progress, but your old nature is dead. That’s why it’s a little awkward to keep dragging it around and pretending it’s still alive.
This isn’t Weekend at Bernie’s.
Okay?
Okay.
Love,
Andy
This made me laugh outloud. And say “amen.”
🙂 I thought about putting up a movie poster as the photo, but thought Bernie might object.
This is great! I also laughed and said amen. Dragging around a dead body is almost never a good idea. 😉
Absolutely right… yet I hear preachers do it all the time.
