1 Timothy 1v15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. 16 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.
Here is hope. God through His son gave us all authority to grasp true life and the eternal. Even the worst of sinners, Paul a man who persecuted the church to lead a person to death because he followed Christ is now writing these words to show how merciful the power of Christ is. Nothing is too far gone for the God who raised the dead, parted the seas and created the earth.
17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
