1 Timothy 1:15-19

It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those would believe in Him for eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. This command I entrust to you, Timothy, my son, in accordance with the prophesies previously made concerning you, that by them you fight the good fight, keeping faith and a conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

Just think about that for a second, Jesus died for us. That is such an awesome thought to seriously ponder. He loves us that much that He would die for us. I don't know anybody off the top of my head who would die like that for me. Jesus you are so great!!!! There has been a lot of conflict because some people think it is degrading that we call ourselves sinners and that we need a savior. I see it as a good thing. Since we are depraved sinners, God sent Jesus to die on the cross for us. He chose such a courageous way to take away our sins. Since our God is so loving, He would go through with the sacrifice. When I was looking back on Jesus's death and resurrection, it was so merciful in what He did for us. In God's eyes our righteousness are like filthy to Him. (Isaiah 64:6) God has the glory forever and forever. God is the only God. This is the only God. We should keep fighting the good fight, and eternal life will be on the other end. Some people who don't have love and a pure heart will have a harder journey with God than people to do.
