Faithful Sayings — Part 1

The Savior of Sinners

The Bible is full of faithful sayings from cover to cover, but, there are four very special and important sayings marked in the writings of the Apostle Paul. We will consider these over the next four days.

Here is the first one:

“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” (1 Timothy 1:15).

What a wonderful, faithful confirmation this is. Christ Jesus was here in this world as a man. He came to save! He accomplished a great work on Calvary’s cross, and His work was sufficient to save the Apostle Paul, at that time known as Saul of Tarsus, and referred to in this scripture as the chief of sinners. We learn from this that no sinner is beyond the grace and power of the Savior of sinners, who could deliver one who had so violently persecuted the early Christians, and, in his own words, “was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 1:13).
