“I used to tell people that “I was just a sinner saved by grace.” But I no longer say that. True, I was once a sinner who repented and believed and as a result was saved by grace. But now I am a child of God, healed of my spiritual sickness, “set free from sin and a slave to righteousness” (Rom 6:18). That is to say, my fundamental identity is that I am a child of God, a new creation.”
