We are Not Sinners Because We Sin. We Sin Because We Are Sinners!
Sometimes we get it backwards in our approach to our Salvation. We beat ourselves up over the our sins and allow Satan to accuse us (the bretheren) daily in regards to the sins in our lives. However, we fail to realize that the fact that we sin is not the cause of our being a sinner. We sin because we have the disease of being a sinner. Jesus Christ came to cure us of the disease of being a sinner. His death on the cross provided the solution to our "sinner" problem.
Romans 5:19 For as by one man's (Adam) disobedience many were made siners, so also by one Man's (Christ) obedience many will be made righteous.
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh.
Christ has erased the penalty of sin in the life of the believer. (For by grace you have been saved through grace and not of yourselves; it is the gift of God).
When we sin it should bring us to a place of recognizing that in our flesh that we are sinners, but more importantly that we serve a great and wonderful God who has paid the price for our being sinners; so that we can not only have eternal life, but the privilege of having Christ's life dwell in us. We don't deserve it nor could we ever earn it! It is with this realization that we can begin to live a life consistent with the eternal purpose of our Lord.
