Re: Verse reading – 1 Timothy 1:1-19 (day four)
“It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,” Who was Jesus? Why did He come? What do I have to do with Him? These are the questions that each one of us must ask…and answer. It is so easy to just ignore the questions. If we never ask the questions, then we don’t have to face the answer. Timothy was in Ephesus to help the church answer these questions. Already, the church was straying from the Gospel taught by Paul. They were justifying things that were contrary to righteousness. When you reject God’s law, you can come up with excuses to justify behavior that has long been contrary to the standards of righteousness. The more a culture turns away from the Word of God, the more darkness encroaches on the mores of society so that what has always been considered evil is now considered good. Remember…Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners!
