Jesus Made You a New Creation... But You’re Still a Sinner? (EP 58)

Are Christians still sinners after salvation, or does Jesus actually give believers a new identity in Christ?

The Bible says your old self was crucified with Christ, you’re sanctified, forgiven, sealed, and a new creation.

So why do so many Christians still say, “I’m just a sinner saved by grace”?

One of the most familiar phrases in Christianity is also one of the most revealing:

“I’m just a sinner saved by grace.”

It sounds humble.

But does it actually agree with what the New Testament says happened to you when you were saved?

In Episode 58 of Grace Uncensored, Billy McDonald takes on one of Christianity’s most common pieces of Christian Double-Talk.

We say Jesus made us new, but then describe ourselves by the person we used to be.

We say our old self was crucified with Christ, but talk as though he’s still alive and running the show.

We say believers are sanctified, righteous, forgiven, and joined to Christ, but continue calling ourselves sinners.

So which is it?

Did Jesus simply forgive the old you?

Or did He actually change who you are?

This episode explores the important difference between sinning and making sinner your identity.
