"A Trustworthy Saying"

 

“A Trustworthy Saying”

 

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance:  Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners---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 immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life.  Now to the King eternal, immortal invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.  Amen.      1Timothy 1:15-17

 

Oh, the UNFAILING LOVE, of a MERCIFUL, RIGHTEOUS, HOLY GOD, who would reach down from Heaven, and RESCUE a WRETCHED sinner, who is in the MIREY pit of HOPELESSNESS, DEPRAVITY, WICKEDNESS, CORRUPTNESS, AND DESPAIR, with an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after they are there, as their ETERNAL DESTINY.  YET, He LOVES them in spite of their condition.  They are PRECIOUS in His SIGHT, but they MUST be willing to TURN AWAY FROM that MIREY PIT and TURN TO GOD for their SALVATION.

 

The Apostle Paul, considered himself, as the WORST of SINNERS, he labeled himself to be a BLASPHEMER, one who speaks irreverently of God or sacred things.  And also, a PERSECUTOR and a VIOLENT MAN.  Yet, GOD, through the ULTIMATE SACRIFICE of His ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, had MERCY on Paul and SAVED his WRETCHED, WICKED, HOPELESS, CORRUPT SOUL from an ETERNITY in HELL.  Paul was shown MERCY and LOVE, because he acted out of IGNORANCE and UNBELIEF.  And Paul was GLORIOUSLY SAVED from an ETERNITY in HELL, because of his FAITH and LOVE for the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  Are you like the Apostle Paul? 

 

The TRUSTWORTHY SAYING: “CHRIST JESUS came into the WORLD to SAVE sinners,” like YOU and ME. And God LOVES us and will have MERCY on us, when we SURRENDER in FAITH and have LOVE for Him and His BELOVED SON, Jesus Christ, who gave His LIFE for YOURS, to SAVE YOU from an ETERNITY in HELL, He DIED in YOUR PLACE, and took YOUR SINS to the CROSS, He PAID the PRICE for YOUR FREEDOM from SIN.  And He gives you and ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, IF you are WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  Then CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, and give GOD the HONOR, GLORY AND PRAISE for EVER and EVER.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
