A FAITHFUL SAYING

by Jerry Smith  
3/26/2017 / Salvation

"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" (1 Timothy 1:15, KJV).

Can it be any clearer than this?

What was the reason Jesus Christ came?

To save sinners...

If you are a sinner, then Christ died for you and me - it is that simple (1 Corinthians 11:3).

However, because it is so simple, people don't see it (1 Corinthians 1:22). People seem to want formulas and steps to salvation, and procedures. As modern people, we want the information, the Greek, the details, the hidden meanings, etc.

If we could save ourselves through our own efforts then why did Christ even come (Galatians 2:21)?

BUT, the message of salvation is clear and it is simple:

I know that I am an unredeemable sinner, lost, if by my own efforts I try to make myself good enough. I am a sinner of myself, and the only way I can be saved is by faith trusting that Jesus Christ came to save sinners - HE came to save ME!

That is the simple message Paul gave us. The apostle (messenger) who was entrusted with the Gospel to the Gentiles.
