This post is for believers and believers only. It's doesn't define non-believers, nor is it a judgement of any who are unsaved.
There's been a whole lot of posts lately here about sin: what constitutes it and what exactly IS, and ISN'T sin. I recently heard a very simple, yet very accurate statement on the subject. It is understood that true believers have been convicted of sin and know it when they see it. The statement is just this, " A Christian whose heart is truly dedicated to following Christ doesn't try to figure out just how close he can get to sin without crossing the line. He recognizes the line and runs in the opposite direction." If that doesn't define the state of a Christian's heart, I don't know what does.
