Christians sin. The reason that is so is because they have sinful dead flesh in them that wages war with the new nature. Nevertheless, a Christian isn't the same as a Buddhist or Muslim or Atheist, etc. First of all, besides the obviousness of being forgiven, they are "new creations in Christ" by which they now hate what God hates and loves what God loves. Moreover - and this is the point the way of the master radio tried to get across - Christians, unlike everyone else, do not hate God. Furthermore, unlike everyone else, the Christian isn't living for self, but instead has a life motto that says "to live is Christ." Unlike everyone else, the Christian, by God's grace, does not live a wasted life, but fulfills his/her existance by doing that which they were created to do - namely to live for God's glory.

Finally, a Christian is not like everyone else because a Christian cannot live in habitual sin. The sad thing about us today is that we call everyone who professes the name of Jesus a Chrisitan. I believe God's word when he said that "No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God" (1John 3:9). If you are living in habitual sin, you are a child of the devil and the truth is not in you.
