Focus on God’s Goodness-I Timothy 1:15 Why Christ Came
JOHN SHIRK – 2024 is the Year of Gratitude at WJTL. In our 40th year of ministry, we are thankful to God for His faithfulness and thankful for our family of listeners.
Each weekday, we will share a Scripture with you that focuses on God’s goodness, which gives us a reason to be grateful.
Today’s Focus on God’s goodness is found in First Timothy 1:15.
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst.
The Apostle Paul lived with profound gratitude to God for His grace and mercy that reached him when he was at the lowest depths of depravity. He had been filled with hatred toward followers of Jesus, but was stopped in his tracks on the way to Damascus, where he had an encounter with Jesus that changed his life. The journey of Paul to faith reminds us that no one is a hopeless cause beyond God’s ability to reach them.
The mission of Jesus to save sinners reveals the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
