Theology On Tap- Episode 105: Sinner/Saint - a podcast by Theology On Tap

In this episode the Theology on Tap crew discusses the idea that Christians are both a sinner and a saint at the same time, so pour yourself a cold beer, warm cup of milk, hot tea or a bottle of water and enjoy this conversation.

Simul Justus Et Peccator

Simultaneously sinner and saint: The teaching that a redeemed child of God – a believer – someone who is justified by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone as revealed in Scripture alone is

At the same time – a sinner and a saint at the same time.

Sin ἁμαρτίαν missing the mark of God’s perfect law

What the Bible says (Sin)

Genesis 6:5 The Lord looked and saw that every inclination, only evil, all the time

Psalm 51:3,4 My sin is always before me…

1 John 1:8-10 If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and we make God out to be a liar.

If we say we are not sinners – lot’s of deception/lies

Romans 3: 10-18 no one, ALL …

Romans 7:18-25 I do not do the good I want to do….Sin dwells in me… I am wretched!... with my flesh, I serve the law of sin.

Saint ἅγιος holy, perfect, pure

What the Bible says (Saint)

Romans 8:1, 2 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 1: To the saints who are also faithful in Christ Jesus... 9 times in Ephesians

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection!

This topic leads to three important discussions

1. Are God’s children really both of those things?

2. At the same time?

3. If so, how should we teach, and preach and talk to each other?

Balance: How can we comfort the hearts of those who are rightly discomforted? How do we discomfort the hearts of those who are wrongly comforted? How do we know which is which?

It takes a pastor's heart, and perhaps everyone can use a little of that.
