the saved sinner

1 Timothy 1: 15-16

 

15Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16But 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.

 

Christ came to save the sinners; he came to save you and me. I can relate to Paul when he says that he is the worst, for I too often feel that I spent a large part of my life sinning instead of saving, perhaps upon reflection we all fee like that from time to time.  We should all remember that Christ loves us; we are part of his family. This week we see the magnitude of that love. A love that is built on faith; Faith from the Lord that by sacrificing His son He might further revel his love for us, and faith from us, that all who believe in Him might be saved, and have eternal life. There is little doubt that we are all sinners, I often wonder why God chooses who he does. It often seems that it is those that have sinned the most that the Lord calls to service, I think that Paul rightly points out it is an opportunity for the Lord to show his grace, His power, and His love, for if the Grace of the Lord can save people like me and Paul…..well then that should be proof that the Lord can save anyone. Let your heart open to the true love of Christ this week. Give Him thanks and Praise. Call out to the Lord; he gave his life for the chance to save yours.

 

Peace,

Brian

  1. Prepare for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Put on the full armor of God
    Message: To show faith you follow the instructions which are ordinances
    1. Offer the sacrifice of repented IHS which is repent= Name your sins to God Almighty privately in prayer in the Name of His Son, Jesus then IHS.
    IHS= Immerse(baptism in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost)
    Hallow(Holy)
    Sanctification(free from sin)
    2. While in prayer ask God for understanding so you can Sow seed which is:
    Sow= to read
    Seed= the Word of God Almighty
    3. Keep the Commandments and Statues they are the way of living for the righteous. Remember that Ordinances of God Almighty come and they must be done in order to prove that you have true faith. Always know that God says nothing unrighteous. He never mislead His people. If instructions you receive are contrary to His way of living remember never to do them because they are not His.
    A word of knowledge: The Name of God Almighty is Yahweh in Hebrew.
    wisdom for you:
    Sin brings death to your soul
    repentance brings life from the dead
    light means no sin(repented, IHS)
    darkness means sin(unrepented, IHS)
