| The World's Greatest Sinner |
| |
| Are there sins that are too great for God to forgive? The |
| answer is "no." In fact, the worst sinner of "all-time" has |
| already been forgiven. His name is the Apostle Paul. |
| |
| Paul claimed that, "Christ Jesus came into the world to save |
| sinners -- of whom I am the worst" (1 Timothy 1:15). Paul |
| testified of his life prior to his conversion that, "I was once |
| a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man...I put many of |
| the saints [Christians] in prison, and when they were put to |
| death, I cast my vote against them" (1 Timothy 1:13; Acts |
| 26:10). He was responsible for the mass murder of men and |
| women as he sought to destroy Christianity (Acts 8:3; 26:10). |
| |
| Jesus chose to save Paul because he was the worst sinner who |
| would ever live in order to display him as an example of His |
| unlimited patience with sinful men (1 Timothy 1:16). If Paul |
| was not the worst sinner then Jesus' example would be invalid. |
| |
| Because the worst sinner has been saved there is hope for us |
| all. No matter what our sin is, (i.e., Abortion, Murder, |
| Drunkenness, Homosexuality, Divorce, Slander, Lying, Stealing, |
| Pride, etc.), Jesus proved His willingness to save us and |
| cleanse us of all sins. We need only to bow before Jesus Christ |
| and confess our sins to receive the same forgiveness Paul did. |
