1 Timothy 1:15-16 [15] This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. [16] Howbeit 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.
Christ Jesus came into the world to....save sinners.
Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe...
Why? Why did Jesus come? It wasn't for all those perfect Christians...it was for sinners!
You see, those "perfect" Christians are just sinners that are saved by His grace.
Do we really want to be selfish and keep that to ourselves? No! Those who are not walking with the Lord should be welcomed with open arms to come in to our churches and hear the gospel. What if you had been rejected because you weren't a perfect Christian, would you be where you are today?
