DAILY?READINGS: 2 Kings 3; Jeremiah 36; Hebrews 8

 

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.    1 Timothy 1:15
For all have sinned.    Romans 3:23

 

No one ever got saved without first having conviction of sin, and yet sin is the point we often dwell on least in our presentation of the Gospel. We get the cart before the horse, and talk much of love, and little of sin. God loves righteousness and hates iniquity. Of what does a person repent except his sin! According to 1 Timothy 1:8-11 the law is to bring conviction of sin. May we use the tools God gave us and the Holy Spirit honours, to bring about conviction of sin. Those who realize they are sinners, can be saved!    —Carl Knott

 

Sinners Jesus will receive; sound this Word of grace to all;
Sing it o’er and o’er again—Christ receiveth sinful men. —E. Neu­meis­ter
