Christ Jesus Came to Save Sinners
from 1 Timothy Hosted by George Scipione
Paul thanks Christ Jesus, who judged him faithful and appointed him to his service, though he was once a blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost." Every baptized believer is enlisted in God's army, and Paul charges Timothy to wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected conscience and made shipwreck of their faith, like Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom Paul handed over to Satan so that they might learn not to blaspheme. The church disciplines out of love, to restore. God's word forms a good conscience, and his grace keeps his people from shipwreck.
