"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." (I Timothy 1:15)
Sometimes we hear things spoken
and see things written that are just not true.
However, this saying before us is true and trustworthy. One can accept
all of it. You can stake all of your
eternity on it.
First, Christ Jesus came into
the world. We have a host of eyewitness accounts of His miraculous birth and
His sinless life. His coming into the world and living among us is an
established historical fact.
Second, His purpose in coming
into the world was not to give us a long, festive holiday once a year. He came into the world to save sinners. Notice
also, He did not come to condemn sinners, but to save sinners. (John 3:17)
Finally, the apostle
acknowledges that Christ Jesus came to save "chiefest" of sinners.
Let Him save you from sin, its
guilt and the eternal consequences of sin. Repent: turn around and Receive
Christ by faith.
