The moment you learn that you are a sinner you may look up into the face of the Son of God, and claim Him as your own Savior.
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." 1 Tim. 1:1515This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15).
And what a moment that will be among the heavenly hosts! "There is joy in the presence of the angels over one sinner that repenteth.”
Christ Jesus came into the world to seek and to save sinners. He walked as a solitary man on earth, save when He met a poor sinner. They alone had title, or even power, to interrupt the solitudes of this heavenly Stranger. The world knew Him not. His paths were lonely among us, save when He and the sinner found their way together.
So it was with the woman at Sychar's well, and the one leper who, cleansed by His word, returned to give Him thanks. Even so it will be when you, poor wanderer in the paths of iniquity, turn to Him who yearns over you as a Father over His wayward child. How can you ignore such great salvation?
"These things have I written unto
you that believe on the name of the
Son of God; that ye may know that
ye have eternal life.”
