THE WORST OF SINNERS
1st Timothy 1:15-16: “…of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.”
Can you imagine Paul accusing himself of being the worst of sinners; actually, prior to his conversion, he would have to have been exactly as he admitted. Was he any different than any other sinner? No, in the sense he committed acts contrary to God’s will.
This means there is hope for everyone, no matter what they have done as long as they, in faith, accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. It is certainly amazing what can be discovered when one reads the Bible. Perhaps you will come to know the reason I end all my messages in the same way:
Read the Bible and you will discover hope in Jesus.
