Is God holding my sins against me? Am I a sinner?
God is not holding your sins against you. He did hold them against His son Jesus. If He holds your sins against you then He in not just (righteous), because He states in the bible, over and over that Jesus is the sacrifice that take away the sins of the World.
Jesus was made sin, (The "noun" not the verb, all sin of mankind past, present, and future) we were made God’s righteousness because He took the whole penalty for sin. If God is holding your sin against you then He has no faith in what Jesus did.
It is grace (unmerited favor) that abounds over sin. It wins every time! In fact it does not just abound, in the Greek it says that it super-abounds and then abounds again. (Romans 5:19:21) Grace causes us not to sin (the verb), because we are dependent upon Jesus, and not own efforts. Sin comes when we try to be independant of God. It comes when we judge by "the knowledge" ( Independant knowlege, our own) of good and evil and not "discern" (dependant understanding) our judgement from God's Spirit inside us.
Fp more information on this topic.read the Book of Romans, and Ephesians, these book speak very painly about the grace of God toward mankind.
In HIM,
