1 Timothy 1:15

I am the chief Sinner - Preaching Preaching Outline on 1 Timothy 1:15 - "This is the faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief." Introduction to 1 Timothy 1:15 God's Word is faithful and cannot lie or err. The Word is worthy of all acceptance because it applies to everyone, announces what God has done for everyone and extends the grace of Salvation to all, to save sinners. It wasn't to save good and generous people. Nor was it to save those who kept the perfect law (no one can do that). Development The main sinner Paul declares himself to be the chief sinner, so the term has the same meaning as principally, or above all. Paul sees himself as the model sinner whom Jesus has forgiven. Paul was aware of his frailty as a sinful man and dependent on the care of the Lord Jesus who forgave him. Sinner from the Greek "hamartolos" which means to miss the mark, to go astray, to sin. Many men think that this Word is not faithful, nor worthy of acceptance; they think that they are not great sinners, that sin is not real, and so they do not accept Jesus. The Spirit of God brings Paul to a position where he admits to being the chief of sinners, or as some translate it: "the chief among sinners". If he wasn't the chief of sinners, he was certainly in the front row. Chief sinner was given to a deeply religious man, raised in a Jewish home and not immersed in idolatry or immorality. His sin was doctrinal. The rejection of the Son of God is the greatest of sins. Paul felt himself to be the main one because his life with the Lord was so high for the ransom he had made. Conclusion of 1 Timothy 1:15 The man who sees himself as the chief sinner stops casting accusing glances at other people, because just as he has been reached by the Lord's mercy, so have others. We must always remember that when we see the sins of others, we must remember that we are also sinners who depend on the forgiveness of our Lord Jesus.
