God's Super-Abounding Grace (1 Timothy 1:12-20)

Listen Later

The further that you press on, the more aware you are of sin. The longer you are a Christian, the more you appreciate the holiness of God, and his

perfect righteous standards and the numerous times we’ve fallen short. You begin to question:

  • Does God really love me?

    • Would God really use a wretched sinner like me in his Kingdom?

    • Or are my sins simply too many, or too bad, to forgive?
    • Does God really want a sinner like me in his service?

      • If that is you, then this passage this morning is for you. Because it’s all about God’s abounding grace to sinners, through Jesus.
