Now I dunno - I hate the idea of thinking of myself as a bad/sinful person. Why do many Christians have pride and good self-esteem?

We have pride because we are still of our sin natures. We have "good self esteem" because our self worth is not tied to a morality/self righteousness that demands we do pretend to be better than what we are.

In other words we have found contentment and peace even though we know we are fundmentally flawed.
