Sinners Quotes

So they watch over us like gods of old. Our patron sinners.

Perhaps we are not really sinners in the hands of an angry God, after all. Perhaps we are all more like seedlings in the hands of a wise gardener.

Seth Adam Smith

God can deliver you so well that some people won’t believe your testimony.

Shannon L. Alder

Being called a murderer: fine, I have no objection to that. It's a fact: I am a sinner, a fallen human. But to be called a murderer by the police!

Aravind Adiga

Besides, nothing makes one so vain as being told that one is a sinner. Conscience makes egotists of us all.

Oscar Wilde

- and even though sinners like me can only wish for heaven, my bastard ass has somehow managed to sneak through the door and step into this thing called paradise

Charleigh Rose

Two classes of people make up the world: those who have found God, and those who are looking for Him - thirsting, hungering, seeking! And the great sinners came closer to Him than the proud intellectuals! Pride swells and inflates the ego; gross sinners are depressed, deflated and empty. They, therefore, have room for God. God prefers a loving sinner to a loveless 'saint'. Love can be trained; pride cannot. The man who thinks that he knows will rarely find truth; the man who knows he is a miserable, unhappy sinner, like the woman at the well, is closer to peace, joy and salvation than he knows.

Fulton J. Sheen

Confession is a difficult Discipline for us because we all too often view the believing community as a fellowship of saints before we see it as a fellowship of sinners. We feel that everyone else has advanced so far into holiness that we are isolated and alone in our sin. We cannot bear to reveal our failures and shortcomings to others. We imagine that we are the only ones who have not stepped onto the high road to heaven. Therefore, we hide ourselves from one another and live in veiled lies and hypocrisy.But if we know that the people of God are first a fellowship of sinners, we are freed to hear the unconditional call of God's love and to confess our needs openly before our brothers and sisters. We know we are not alone in our sin. The fear and pride that cling to us like barnacles cling to others also. We are sinners together. In acts of mutual confession we release the power that heals. Our humanity is no longer denied, but transformed.

Richard J. Foster

Maybe the one had to be lost for the others to be found?

Donna Tartt

In life I would much prefer to be sinned upon than the sinner. It is easier, vous comprenez? With the clear conscience one sleeps very well. The sinner may deny it… but in his heart he knows. He does not deserve to be happy.

Nikki Sex

One and all do mistakes, that doesn’t mean they all are sinner

Rocky13

One is not necessarily made self-centered because he is foolish, but one is very often made foolish because he is self-centered.

Criss Jami

The real 'have' and 'have nots' are between the people who were caught sinning verses the ones who got away with committing sin.

E. Leo Foster

No one could preach if he seriously looked at his own sins.

Bangambiki Habyarimana

Nelson Mandela

Anyone can find the dirt on someone, but very few can wipe it from their own shoes.

Shannon L. Alder

Even though we'd put each other through hell, we'd found heaven. Maybe it was more than a couple of sinners like us deserved, but I wasn't going to complain.

Jamie McGuire

If a man says he is Christian, yet he has no problems knocking you up, having premarital sex or living in sin with you, then you have to ask yourself, “What version of Christ does he believe in?

Shannon L. Alder

It's a sin only if it harms you

Bangambiki Habyarimana

Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners - your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards - who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.

Thornton Wilder

Unless some people are commissioned for the task, there will be no gospel preachers; unless the gospel is preached, sinners will not hear Christ’s message and voice; unless they hear him, they will not believe the truths of his death and resurrection; unless they believe these truths, they will not call on him; and unless they call on his name, they will not be saved.

John R.W. Stott

You are a cool cemetery.You have the sinner’s graveYou have the saint’s earthcollidingYou have all the bedsnarrow as a knife;as if a rally of tombstones to defend death.But you can’t really postponethe inauguration of my burial,can you?From the poem - Few Words to Cemetery

Munia Khan

Never stand in the way of letting God use people’s actions, in order to solve a greater issue in the world.

Shannon L. Alder

Perhaps it is true that, by some definitions, Satan is more religious than God. Many of the particularly proud sinners are deceived into thinking that Satan is anti-religious, that he likes seeing people do immoral things simply because he likes immoral things. Doubtful; Satan likes for people to do immoral things so that he can blame them for doing immoral things. The Father of Lies laughs not with his teammates, but at them.

Criss Jami

It is neither just the religious, the spiritual, the power-hungry, the evil, the ignorant, the corrupt, the Christian, the Muslim, the Hindu, the Buddhist, the Jew, nor the atheist that makes a hypocrite, but being a human being. Any man who thinks himself to be free of hypocrisy while committed to cherry-picking others for such, I am confident, the Almighty can prove to him a great deal of his own hypocrisy even beyond his earthly comprehension.

Criss Jami

You and I, God’s ambassadors, are called to sound the warning, to call sinners to repentance, to point the way to peace with God and the hope that is in Christ.

Billy Graham

There are many new sinners today, but there aren’t any new sins, just the old ones clothed in different rags.

Billy Graham

Our magazine covers frequently feature the immoral, the perverted, the psychologically sick. Sin is “in.” People don’t like to be told they are sinners.

Billy Graham

As much as we hate to admit it, we are sinners by birth. We are also sinners by choice. We are also sinners by practice.

Billy Graham

The ragamuffin gospel reveals that Jesus forgives sins, including the sins of the flesh; that He is comfortable with sinners who remember how to show compassion; but that He cannot and will not have a relationship with pretenders in the Spirit.

Brennan Manning

Then I read that Jesus was a friend of sinners. This still bothers me. Not because Jesus was a friend of sinners (because that came in really handy in my case). It bothered me because if I'm trying to live like Jesus, that means I'm supposed to be a friend of sinners too.

Dillon Burroughs

Being a “friend of sinners” is an accusation that Christians should wear as a badge of honor, for nothing could honor Jesus more, and nothing is more revealing of who God actually is.

Ronnie McBrayer

We have seen some gatekeeping or fencing-the-table language already beginning to rear its head in this context. One needed to be baptized to take the meal; one needed to repent to take the meal; one needed a bishop or his subordinate to serve the meal. This was to become especially problematic when the church began to suggest that grace was primarily, if not exclusively, available through the hands of the priest and by means of the sacrament. One wonders what Jesus, dining with sinners and tax collectors and then eating his modified Passover meal with disciples whom he knew were going to deny, desert, and betray him, would say about all this. There needs to be a balance between proper teaching so the sacrament is partaken of in a worthy manner and overly zealous policing of the table or clerical control of it.

Ben Witherington III

You cannot be a positive influence to the “sinners at the table" if you refuse to dine with them.

Donald L. Hicks

There is grace for every soul.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Sinners, pray to a merciful God for forgiveness.

Billy Graham

There is no sin, no crime, no evil, God cannot forgive

Bangambiki Habyarimana

A man is called a saint not because he does no longer sin but because he recognizes his weakness and seeks for forgiveness every time he falls

Bangambiki Habyarimana

A man is called a sinner not because he sins more than others but because he defends he sins and glories in them and is unwilling to seek forgiveness

Bangambiki Habyarimana

God of great miracles.God of great mercies.

Lailah Gifty Akita

We are all sinful. Trouble is that some men consider themselves less sinful than others or holier than others.

Bangambiki Habyarimana

No matter how many sins you make or how slow you travel back toward God's valley, you are still way ahead of a person who never made a mistake and doesn't know what it is like to climb out of a pit of shame and rise above their temptations.

Shannon L. Alder

I felt for the tormented whirlwindsDamned for their carnal sinsCommitted when they let their passions rule their reason.

Dante Alighieri

I don't the life of a thug. I live the life of a sinner.

Jonathan Anthony Burkett

If we would answer the question of the existence of the Evil then we would not be sinners, we could make something else responsible.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Sanctification of the Spirit is the grace of salvation.

Lailah Gifty Akita

The grace of God is freely given.

Lailah Gifty Akita

If there are damned souls in Hell, it is because men blind themselves.

E.A. Bucchianeri

Temptation goes both ways. Sometimes, you can be tempted to live a half life because it pleases someone else. Don't ever live in such a way that your heart splits into two souls. You might find yourself sinning for the rest of your life because you don't want to really be in that situation, but you don't want to hurt the kids. That is a hell that your children will pick up on soon enough. Staying for the kids is possible, but it takes two people to agree that choice is their lifestyle, not one. Otherwise, you hold another person captive because of your fear of stating the obvious-- you are not in love with them.

Shannon L. Alder

Stupidity is to have amnesia over your own faults when the person you hate makes theirs.

Shannon L. Alder

We were meant to rescue each other, not cut down the forest to rescue one.

Shannon L. Alder

Munia Khan

But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Lailah Gifty Akita

You can't always expect people to apply your wisdom when they didn't use wisdom before they found themselves knee deep in their version of justice.

Shannon L. Alder

How can the confessor teach/ those who are lost and sick at heart,/ when he himself, among the sinners,/ is worst, and most forsaken?/ It is only a game we play/ with other people's sins./ Besides, everyone knows/ that everyone lies confessing.

Yevgeny Yevtushenko

An expensive coffin does not decrease the deceased’s chances of going to hell.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

All the hungers we have for love, for union, for happiness are given by God to lead us to him. The difference between a saint and the greatest sinner is where they go to satisfy that hunger.

Christopher West

At best we are but clay, animated dust; but viewed as sinners, we are monsters indeed. Let it be published in heaven as a miracle that the Lord Jesus should set His heart's love upon people like us.

Alistair Begg

Far better it is for you to say: "I am a sinner," than to say: "I have no need of religion." The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.

Fulton J. Sheen

God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.

Søren Kierkegaard
