What does the Bible say about believers being sinners?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes believers as sinners saved by grace, as seen in Romans 7, where Paul expresses the ongoing struggle with sin.

The Bible consistently acknowledges that believers are sinners saved by grace. In Romans 7, Paul articulates this struggle, stating that even as believers, we wrestle with sin. He laments, 'Oh wretched man that I am,' acknowledging his continuous battle against sin even after coming to faith in Christ. Despite this struggle, believers are reassured that they have been washed and renewed by the Holy Spirit, which underscores the transformative power of God's grace in their lives. This duality—being both sinner and saved—highlights the profound truth of the Christian faith: that while we are justified in Christ, we still contend with our fallen nature until glorification.
