There are a lot of people out there that claim to be holy, looking down on others, believing themselves to be above the rest of us. I have good news for us, they are not, if you're reading this , and as I am writing this, we all need to know this, we are all sinners.
Now there are many who have come to the saving grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, and have been forgiven of sins, but we still have to deal with sin in our lives.
Someone who is a spiritual person, truly understands that each day they must personally confront the sin in their lives and repent. The difference is as Adrian Rogers says we become blameless before God, not sinless. And the bible tells us it is not of ourselves, but of the work of Christ in us.
Don't base your thoughts of Jesus upon another man or woman, they are and always will be fallible and sinful like you. But base your thoughts and ideas upon the word of God and the love He has shown through His son Jesus, and the works He has done on the cross and is doing in the lives of those who truly follow Him.
1 Corinthians 2:11-16 HCSB
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God. We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people. But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually. The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. For who has known the Lord’s mind, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
