In CHRIST there is a CHANCE!

“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I am the worst.”

-1 Timothy 1:15, NIV

If we look at the past life of Paul, we could really say that he is the worst of all the sinners. He waged war against God by persecuting everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ. But instead of being condemned by God in everything he did, Paul received forgiveness and was used to show the saving power of Christ. The power of God in which no one can run from. The power of God’s love that can forgive even the worst.

And this is a fact that many should know, that even if you think that you are the worst person in the world, you can still have your second chance if only you accept Christ in your life. We don’t need to be born again in the flesh so that we could change the way we live. We just need to be born again with the Spirit, baptized in Jesus name, so that we can have a new life. Just like what ate Faythe, our youth pastor said: “Christ is like our birthday, because in Christ there is always a CHANCE.”

“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, NIV

I tell you this: You can NEVER run from the love of Christ! You can NEVER even hide from it! Whatever you do, the love of Christ will always be there running behind you. His forgiveness is always available. If you have committed a sin, you don’t have to backslide! Just face Christ, repent, and you can gain your redemption again. Christ is patient. Even if you are trying to run from His love for almost all of your life, He is just there waiting, until the time you are ready to face Him.

It is not Christ who is not ready to accept you, it is you who don’t want to accept Christ. Christ wants you to have a new life, but it is you who wants to be chained on your old life. Christ is giving you a second chance, but it is you who don’t want to give yourself a chance. BUT remember this, THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST. Just face Him and make Him your Lord and Saviour. Christ gave up His whole life just for you to have a new life. All you have to do is to live the remaining time of your life for Him. Trust me that if you do that, you will never be the same again.
