I am the chief of sinners…God save me!

I am the chief of sinners…God save me!

Faithful is the 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. We were buried therefore with Him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin...Romans 6:4-6. And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called according to His purpose. For whom He foreknew, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren: and whom He foreordained, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us...Romans 8:28-31?


We are sinners who deserve punishment but thank God we have been washed in the blood and cleansed from every stain! I have been baptized and remaining faithful, are you? We are all the biggest sinners in our own eyes. We should be grateful for the favors that bless our lives and continually cleanse us from our sinful desires. I believe gratitude is something everyone needs being grateful for the life willingly sacrificed for us. For Jesus dying and being raised from the dead. For hearing the message and believing unto salvation by being baptized for the forgiveness of sin. Grateful for the message Jesus has died and was raised so we could always choose the right thing to do. Is that not the greatest news ever…Jesus died so we could always know the truth and choose the righteousness? That as long as we remain faithful, we will be resurrected into eternal life and not eternal punishment or death?


Prayer

Father please grant us a grateful heart and mind and meet our soul’s deepest needs and give us the remedy for our sin and thank you for the grace to be forgiven…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

The Soul who kneels before Jesus can face anyone...

Learning from the first letter to the Thessalonians…

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: To the end He may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints...1 Thessalonians 3:12-13.


For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication (sex outside of marriage): That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor; Not in the lust of concupiscence (bad things), even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit. But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another. And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech (beg) you, brethren, that you increase more and more; And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing....1 Thessalonians 4:3-12.


Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly (law unto themselves), comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings (preaching forth of truth). Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ...1 Thessalonians 5:14-23.

 

These Christians had turned from superstitious idols to the living God…they were given instruction on how to sanctify themselves and exhorted and encouraged to love like Jesus…Go and do likewise…

 

Prayer

Father please preserve our body, soul, and spirit blameless unto the coming of Jesus in Judgement…and meet our deepest needs of our soul, body, and spirit…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

So you done someone dirty? Then go and make it clean…

So you done someone dirty? Then go and make it clean…

Are you reconciled with fellow man and God…yes or no?

We are told to reconcile with a brother or sister whom we know we have done wrong or they could accuse of wrong…listen to what Jesus said…

If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother hath aught (reason to accuse you of wrong doing) against you, leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift...Matthew 5:23-24.

 

So you done someone dirty? Then go and make it clean. You stole then restore or offer a sincere apology perhaps they will forgive. Do not even go to church because your offering will not be received until you do in the eyes of God. Word to the wise…be prayful…prepare for the opportunity even if you have to make one…God will provide a way to reconcile. Remember you are in the wrong and they are the better person for forgiving and reconciling. Perhaps if they are a Christian read them this verse and say what can I do to make it right with you? The explain the circumstance to them how you want to be right with them and God.

 

Then after you have righted your wrongs go to church and offer your sacrifice of praise or thanksgiving and anything else you desire because you did the will of the Father. Seek forgiveness…seek restoration…be humble and kind while doing this deed of reconciliation.

 

And one said unto him, Behold, Your mother and Your brethren stand without, seeking to speak to thee. But He (Jesus) answered and said unto him that told Him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand towards His disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father who is in heaven, He is my brother, and sister, and mother...Matthew 12:47-50.

 

Prayer

Father please help us to reconcile our wrong deeds of our past and forgive others trespasses so our worship and sacrifices will be accepted by You and Your Only Son…please meet our deepest needs for reconciliation with You our God and our fellow man…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
