Sinners of whom I am CHIEF.
1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
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.
1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Are you a chief sinner? Seriously, are you? We have a tendency to believe that those we would classify as 'chief sinners' are those who are murderers, abusers, torturers etc -- the really awful people. Yet every sin warrants death, every sinner deserves death. The chief sinners are us all really. My sin of self righteousness may be worse than a thief's sin, yet we don't want to believe that. We want to just label sin - one through ten- and not get into the heart of what sin is. Jesus came and gave us the answers to what the heart of sin is. Anything that keeps us from LOVING our God and LOVING our neighbor is SIN. ANY act even if it’s a bad will thought towards God or a fellow human being, it's SIN. Is there any wonder we cannot save ourselves?! We are awful sinners and our ONLY HOPE is CHRIST JESUS!
The GRACE of our LORD- EXCEEDING ABUNDANT with FAITH and LOVE in HIM, OUR SAVIOR!
Jesus came into this world to save YOU, to save ME, to save ALL OF US- SINNERS!
We can OBTAIN mercy just like the Apostle Paul, just like all others! We can obtain MERCY, and we can BELIEVE ON JESUS CHRIST TO LIFE EVERLASTING!
We can have life everlasting in our SAVIOR!
EVERYTHING unto our KING ETERNAL, IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, the ONLY WISE GOD, be HONOR and GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN!
We are sinners!
We can obtain mercy!
We can have grace!
We MUST BELIEVE!
Too many want to believe in themselves, but we CAN'T! We have to believe in our SAVIOR to SAVE US!
We will forever fail ourselves if we look to ourselves. We will forever disappoint ourselves. We must look to CHRIST! He is PERFECTION, HE IS RIGHTEOUSNESS! HE IS EVERYTHING!
Please SAVIOR be our all in all! Help us to BELIEVE all in YOU!
AMEN!
