"But
for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, CHRIST
JESUS might display HIS
unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on
HIM and
receive eternal life."
1 Timothy 1:16
-------
GOD
showed the greatness of HIS forgiveness in granting Paul the
gift of eternal life. Paul, a murderer of GOD'S people,
forgiven and made into a Leader of GOD'S Church. That
is GOD'S signature of grace!
|
"Beyond
all question, the mystery of godliness is great: HE appeared
in a body, was vindicated by the SPIRIT, was seen by angels,
was preached among the nations, was
believed on in the world, was taken up in glory."
1
Timothy 3:16
-------
The
gospel does not make complete sense to the mind of a man, but none the less, GOD
give man the gift to believe in JESUS through the SPIRIT.
|
"And
for this we labour and strive), that we have put our hope in the LIVING
GOD, who is the SAVIOUR of
all men, and especially of those who believe."
1
Timothy 4:10
-------
JESUS
CHRIST is the SAVIOUR of
the world! Only those who believe in JESUS receive the
gift of eternal life.
|
"That
is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am
not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that HE
is able to guard what I have entrusted to HIM for that
day."
2 Timothy 1:12
-------
Suffering
for the sake of loving GOD is the life of a martyr and
carries a special reward from the LORD.
