"This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners and I am the worst of all of them."
This One Truth Today is all about you. Do you know that you are a sinner? The Word teaches us that everyone has sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Everyone would include each of us. No one is good or the same as God, no not one. If we are all sinners, are there some sins that are so bad that that person could never be saved by the Lord? Are your sins so evil and heinous that God could never forgive you? In this scripture Paul confessed that he had broken God's laws and been rebellious and had even defiled that which was Holy. Jesus Christ had mercy on Paul because he did it in ignorance and unbelief. No matter what we have done He will have mercy on us and save us from our sins if we will believe in Him and accept his Salvation.
Do you think you are the worst sinner of all time? Do you believe that after what you have done you could never be forgiven? Do you now realize that you have broken God's laws and that you have separated yourself from the Lord? Paul's message is that even if you are the worst sinner of all time, Jesus Christ came into this world to save you! This is a trustworthy message from God. Jesus can save all sinners. You must acknowledge that you are a sinner and that you need a Saviour. Open the door to your heart and let Jesus Christ come in and dwell with you and accept His free gift of eternal life. You can not save yourself, that is why Jesus came into the world.
Paul is used as an example of a sinner, but the same truth applies to all of us. It is a given that we have all sinned. It is a given that we all need to be forgiven and shown mercy for our evil deeds. When the Lord shows you mercy He displays His long suffering, patience and unconditional love. The greater the example of the sinner who comes to the Lord the greater the glory that comes to God. It should be an encouragement to everyone when we see the examples of sinners who are now God fearing and righteous people. The Lord came to save them and He came to save you from your sin. Can you hear Him? CALLING ALL SINNERS!
