"The word sinner is a theological designation. It is essential to insist on this. It is not a moralistic judgment. It is not a word that places humans somewhere along a continuum ranging from angel to ape, assessing them a relatively 'good' or 'bad'. It designates humans in relation to God and sees them separated from God. Sinner means something is awry between humans and God." --Eugene Peterson
