Righteous yet a Sinner?

Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences. - Robert Lewis Stephenson.  Words matter because they have consequences.

The common assertion that we, even as believers, are all "sinners," is not to be found anywhere in the Bible as the term is never used in reference to a believer. In searching the Scriptures, we discover that the term is not defined as is generally supposed, i.e., anyone who commits a sin is a "sinner." What we do find is that God has drawn a clear line of distinction between "saint" and "sinner," believer and unbeliever, the regenerate and unregenerate, the righteous and the wicked, and this distinction is directly related to the conduct and practice of our daily lives.
