1Ti 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Christ Jesus came into the world to SAVE SINNERS-
Of whom I am chief.
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned
All have sinned.
All come short of the glory of God.
Remember this…
Mat 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Become as little children.
Little children hold a certain innocence in their humble existence.
They aren't aware of doing good and doing evil, we grow into that awareness.
Jas 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Sin is the transgression of the moral law of God.
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law
Even those who grow up without knowledge of God and the Bible, without knowledge of His ten moral laws, understand that there are unspoken truths. They understand there are good things and bad things they can do. As they grow up they learn from those around them the things that are acceptable and those things that are not acceptable. They also learn that there are consequences for the choices they make to do the unacceptable things.
That knowledge, that learning right from wrong, is something that takes place as they age, they aren't born with the knowledge. We have to know there is a wrong and commit that wrong knowingly to do wrong.
I could grow up picking all the flowers around my house and never be told picking flowers is wrong because it isn't wrong in and of itself. Then I could go to a relative's house and begin to pick all their flowers and I'd get scolded. Was I wrong? No, not unless I was told that it is wrong to pick other peoples flowers. In my unknowing I was innocent of the wrong, as children are innocent until they learn right from wrong. From the moment that knowledge is theirs and they choose to do wrong knowingly they become guilty of that wrong.
Christ Jesus came into the world to SAVE SINNERS.
And except we are converted- believing in our Savior's ability to save us, to forgive us and offer us salvation, repenting of our sins- and become as little children humble, trusting in our Savior, sinless knowing we are completely forgiven and our Savior's righteousness saves us- then we won't be saved.
Jesus did not come into the world to save the faithless.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
He came to OFFER salvation to sinners.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
He came to offer the new birth- the spirit birth to sinners.
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Joh 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Salvation!
Christ Jesus came into the world to SAVE sinners!
This is the purpose of Christ Jesus' appearance in our world.
Christ Jesus would NOT have come into the world other than to save sinners.
The chief of sinners can be saved by Christ Jesus.
The tendency to think we are too awful to save is Satan inspired.
Paul, an Apostle of Jesus was first a murderer of Christ's followers. He went from being instrumental in the misery and murder of Christ's followers to being forgiven by Christ and used of Him mightily.
Christ Jesus came into our world to SAVE SINNERS.
If we ever get to a place where we are being silently encouraged to believe we are just too sinful, too awful, too bad to be saved, let us fall to our knees before our God and beg for forgiveness knowing that Christ came into the world to SAVE SINNERS, to SAVE US! He came for that purpose.
Yes, we are sinners- but we can either be saved and covered under the sinlessness of Christ, or we can remain sinners- our choice.
We choose.
Praise God for HIS amazing love!
Our God, our Creator, chose to take on flesh in order to save us sinners, estranged from Him.
LOVE.
He gave up so much, suffered so much, all to save us.
All glory, all honor, all praise to HIM, always!
