are Christians sinners? yes. are they being made in to being more Christ-like? yes. how do i know this? because just like Paul, i can say 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.' am i perfect? no. but i do desire to follow my Lord and Savior, and to be made in to His likeness. i can also say: thank goodness my kids weren't like me.
