Timothy 1:12-17
12And I
thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted
me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13Who
was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I
obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14And
the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which
is in Christ Jesus.
15This is a faithful
saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
16Howbeit
for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might
shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should
hereafter
believe on him to life everlasting.
17Now
unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be
honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I>
I AM A Sinner. tx. vs. 15.
15This
is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus
came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
A.He had ALWAYS BEEN A SINNER BUT DID NOT KNOW IT. Why?
If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
WE must see ourselves in this light! (IJohn 1:8-8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
II> I am what I am by the grace of god.
A. he took no credit for his conversion. it was the pure act of the Soverieign grace of God.
"Amzing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me"
III> I Am Debtor. Romans 1:14-"I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise."
A. A debtor is onwe who owes somethingto somebody else. What did he owe? he owed the gospel to a lost world.
- Here is a person who has a terminal illness....a doctor has discoverd a treatment. remedy applied...
- Now that person knows someone in the same situation...
- does he owe it to tell that person about the doctor and the medicine that cured him?
IV> "I am not ashamed of the Gospel".. Romans 1:16-
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
The gospel is the death burial and resurection of Jesus Christ. 1Corinthians 15:1,3b-4
- 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
- 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
- 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
B. False religions have their "gods" (founder) not one of them has come back from the dead...
only the christian can say "Our Lord AROSE". The false religions are conditional...that is what makes Christianity diferent.
IV. "I Am Ready" 2 Timothy 4:6
- 6For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
- 7I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
are you ready?
dear friend : please trust Jesus as your saviour taday.
The Bible says in Romans 10:9,109That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
