God bless you, friend. Hope you are enjoying the blessing of God and live a peaceful and satisfied life every day. If not please rethink of your position. Call Jesus in prayer. Ask God if you are still not receiving the Holy Spirit, through which the blessing of God is conveyed. Do not confuse about ‘sin’ ‘sinner’.

What general people think ‘sin’  is very different from ‘sin’ ‘sinner’ God says.

Man think a sinner’ is a bad person and a good and religious person not a ‘sinner’. This notion is wrong.

If you still can not have true peace and joy in God, you might not have left ‘sin’ totally to receive the Holy Spirit, though you have already believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour but your believe might still do not fulfill what God require. Do not feel shame. Better keep low yourself and do what God require for a better immediate future.

Consider this:

Can a good person, and religious person be a sinner? Yes, as per God’s word. What the Bible says ‘sin’ is ‘disobedience of God’s word or command, not necessarily ‘bad behaviour’. (Study Genesis 1-3 & John 3:17-18)

In the beginning, the first man and woman - Adam and Eve had eaten what God forbidden them. That ‘disobedience’ was sin. All the people of the world are the descendents of Adam and Eve as all born from man and woman, thus, the blood is passing through father and mother. There ever is only one ‘man – Godman’ who was born not from the blood of man but from God. That person was no other than ‘Jesus Christ’ who was born from the Holy Spirit, not from man. He was sent by God to be born as man so that all man on earth can accept Him as own being.

God’s command or order in the New Testament time and till date is ‘Believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as Lord and Saviour, by confessing own sin. Not accepting Jesus is ‘Sin’. Any one that does not accept Jesus is sinner, who must be condemned and live in hell forever.

2.You or any person may be a very good person, having good character, doing many good works, love others and help many with sympathy. If you do not accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, you are sinner in the face of God; you must face eternal condemnation in hell and never have real peace in this life, too!

Can a ‘Righteous or born-again person’ become bad person?  No, never. A person whose sin God has forgiven can not become ‘bad person’ and can not have bad character, bad behavior, bad action as God has given Him the Holy Spirit to control, teach and guide him to be a good person towards becoming ‘Christ like’ or ‘Righteous’. But man can not become ‘Righteous’ in a true sense. Jesus Christ Himself says, “Don’t call me Good. No one is good except God.” The highest virtue man has to aim is ‘Christ like’, which is not same as Christ, but to have such quality that relates to Christ virtue.

Even, such saved or ‘spiritually born- again person’, one having life in Jesus may commit mistakes. However, such mistakes do not continue, rather repent and turn toward God at once. Then, God forgives and control him not to commit such sin again. If this person, claiming to be ‘born-again’ continues to commit sin, he is but a liar.

Write ‘Amen’ if you become God’s child and receive the Holy Spirit. May Jesus be in you always.
