1 TIMOTHY 1:15
"This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and I am the worst of them all."
Do you know that you are a sinner? The bible teaches us that EVERYONE has sinned and come short of the glory of God. That would include you. Are there some sins that are so bad one can not be saved? Are your sins so evil and heinous that God will never forgive you? Paul confessed that he had broken the law and been rebellious and had even defiled that which was holy. Jesus had mercy on Paul because he did it in ignorance and unbelief. He will have mercy on you also!
Do you think you are the worst sinner of them all? Have you committed sins that are so evil and heinous that you believe you will never be forgiven? You will have to do more than break God's laws. The message that Paul brings here is true and worthy of your full acceptance; Jesus came into this world to save ALL SINNERS! You must acknowledge you are a sinner and that you need a saviour, and accept the free gift of life by asking Jesus Christ into your heart.
Jesus used Paul, who claimed to be the worst of all sinners, and He can use you too. By showing mercy to you the Lord displays His long suffering and patience and unconditional love. The greater the sinner who comes to the Lord, the greater the example of encouragement to others who also believe they are the worst sinners in the world. The Lord wants you to know He came into the world to save you. He is calling, can you hear Him? CALLING ALL SINNERS!
