Jesus Christ Suffered For All

1Timothy 1:15  

"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."

      The Apostle breaks off into expressions of heartfelt thanks to God for the abounding grace which had overcome his former willfulness and blindness. Only ignorance could cause his or another one's outrage, and insults toward Christ; "Who was and is the beloved object of our entire Surrender."   He felt that he had been the chief of sinners, because he had sinned against more knowledge and opportunity than others.

      It is only when we see God, that we know ourselves and repent in dust and ashes. The Apostle, however, comforted himself in this at least, that through coming time the most hopeless and abandoned sinners would take heart as they considered his case. "He was a sample of mercy, a specimen of what Christ could do, an outline sketch to be filled in. Believe on Christ. Faith rests on Christ as foundation". 

      We must fight a good fight, run a good race, and finish the course. Then and only then can we say that, we have "War the good warfare, against sin". When we thrust away faith and a good conscience, we stab our pilot and cause a shipwreck."Who concerning the truth have erred. saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some, (2Tim. 2:17). Of whom be thou aware also; for he hath greatly withstood  our words," (2Tim. 4:14).  

Amen
