Do you know that the Lord Jesus Christ did not come to earth just to teach us how to live? Nor did He come to show us how to die. God tells us why He came. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. (1 Timothy 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).) This is the reason for His coming—He came TO SAVE SINNERS.
It is also truly said of Him, This Man receiveth sinners. (Luke 15:22And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. (Luke 15:2).) His call, Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)), is directed to those who realize that they are sinners and need a Saviour.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the wonderful Saviour God sent to save sinners. He saves them now and for eternity, for He has said, Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).)
Ask the Lord Jesus to be your Saviour now and, according to His own Word, He will save you.
“The Son of man came
not to be ministered unto,
but to minister, and to give His life
a ransom for many.”
