I will re-read Romans 7. I agree that we remain sinners but what I’m trying to say is that the Holy Spirit works within us to sanctify us. It is more a matter of yielding to Him than a lot of effort on my part! That’s reassuring to me.
Certainly. Although I would not classify us as "sinners" in the Biblical sense. That is reserved for a particular way of life that ignores God.
