What's This All About?

"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.
