What a basic idea that the interesting people who crow about their status as sinners seem to forget. The whole point to mortality in God's eyes is that you should learn to not sin and get into the habit of not sinning.

And the brother of Jared repented of the evil which he had done, and did call upon the name of the Lord for his brethren who were with him. And the Lord said unto him: I will forgive thee and thy brethren of their sins; but ThouShaltNotSinAnyMore, for ye shall remember that my Spirit will not always strive with man ; wherefore, if ye will sin until ye are fully ripe ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord. And these are my thoughts upon the land which I shall give you for your inheritance; for it shall be a land choice above all other lands.

The sacrifice of Jesus in potentially taking upon himself the punishment for your sins is not meant to be used as a justification to keep on sinning.

It is not the purpose to ignore our own personal elevation in some weird bid to pump up Christ's 'cred' as a savior. Jesus is sitting pretty, now how do you look?

In a phrase, the Lord says to stop sinning.
