This article discusses the language we use to describe our Christian identity. More often we call ourselves sinners rather than saints. But the letters of the New Testament have by far the reverse emphasis. While there is of course still a place for Christians to refer to themselves as sinners, there is even more a place for them to think of themselves as saints.

Looking at Luke 7, this article shows that the church consists of forgiven sinners gathered together by God's grace, who encourage each other to fight against sin in their lives.

In this article on Luke 2:8-9, the author discusses salvation and grace, especially grace for sinners and despised people.

The author looks at the fact that we are justified in Christ, but that we are still wretched sinners in this life. The author looks at Romans 6 and Romans 7 to see the place that sin still has in the believer's life. The normal Christian life is a life of struggle against sin and our sinful nature.
