How do we know we are sinners?

Answered in 2 sources

We know we are sinners through the revelation of God and the awareness of our own actions.

The realization of our sinful state is a direct work of God’s grace in our lives. Scripture teaches that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). The Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 exemplifies this understanding; her humility in acknowledging her position as a 'dog' before Christ demonstrates a clear awareness of her sinfulness. Recognizing ourselves as sinners is a vital step in understanding our need for salvation and leads us to seek mercy from God.
