Christ came to save sinners. He didn't come to spend his time with people who thought themselves already good enough (the Pharisees) and by telling the truth he insulted them and was crucified. He came for you and me.

I don't really consider myself a sinner.

>I don't really consider myself a sinner.<

If their is a God then your opinion matters not.The God of the Bible says we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God.

Could you explain that "really"?

I think you need to give this some serious thought. "All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." And every sin, every bad action deliberately undertaken, separates us from God, who is all-Good and by His nature excludes ALL sin, not just what we may think of as "serious sin". As C.S. Lewis put into the mouth of Screwtape, murder is not necessary for damnation if cards will do the trick. The most effective road to Hell is the broad, gentle slope without signposts or turnings . . .
