RIGHT STANDING
Today's reading: 1 Timothy 1-3

"This is a true saying, and everyone should believe it: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--and I was the worst of them all." 1 Timothy 1:15 NLT

I don't believe we have a right standing with God, truly know our status in comparison to His, until we can truly say that we once were the worst sinner.

Until we reach that point of belief, that point of repentance in our hearts, then we will judge everyone else accordingly.

We'll consider our sins a little lesser in value and theirs much worse.

We'll have the skewed opinion that we somehow deserved Jesus's gift.

We'll never completely, entirely, wholeheartedly grasp the enormity of His love for us.

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--and I was the worst of them all.

Yes, it's a true saying and we all should believe it.
