"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."
How many of us ever feel this way about ourselves? What do you think Paul would wander around just being depressed that he was the Chief of sinners? What is amazing, there is so much amazing, for now lets realize this was Paul's claim after he had been used to write most of the N.T. How different he saw himself than most Christians see themselves. There is much reason for the joy seen and heard from Christians after all one of my favorite passages says "there will be the sound of joy and victory in the tents of the righteous. BTW, tents in Scripture are used to illustrate these bodies we live in so there should be those sounds from us. But should we not also come to know that we are such great sinners that nothing but the Holy and Righteous Lamb of God could die and save me. I have to believe that the sounds of joy and victory coming out of that human tent named Paul must have been sweet indeed.
I am the chief of sinners and the Lord still came for me how to explain it when its almost too hard to understand it. What mighty love.
