Christian Devotional – April 27, 2019

Purpose and need. It’s important to understand the purpose that God had. While there was a purpose, it wasn’t an empty purpose. God’s plan and purpose fulfilled the need that we had. Read 1 Timothy 1:15.

It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
1 TIMOTHY 1:15 NASB

This statement is trustworthy and it’s worth our acceptance. God had a purpose and that was why he sent Jesus Christ into the world. Jesus Christ came to save sinners. He came on a salvation mission in order to help us because we had need of him. He is holy and we are not. And Paul, looking at his life, classified himself as the foremost of sinners. We could each say that. Our sin has separated us from a holy God and because of that, we need his salvation. Do we recognize our need and his purpose?
