The Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 1:15, "This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief."
Friends, we need to remember that Jesus did not come into the world to perform miracles...though He did perform miracles. He did not come into the world to cast out demons...though He did cast out demons. He did not come into the world to heal the sick or to feed the hungry or to raise the dead...though He did all of that. The PURPOSE that Jesus came into the world was to save sinners and all those other things were means He used to reach that goal. The whole purpose He came, the whole purpose He created "The Church" was for the same purpose...to save sinners!
Friends, I'm afraid we sometimes miss the whole purpose of becoming a Christian. Our purpose is the same purpose that Jesus came into the world in the first place. It was TO SAVE SINNERS! We need to get back to the real reason we are here...we need to long for people to know Jesus and to commit their lives to Him. His instructions to the Disciples was clear...He told them to "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel" and His plan hasn't changed today. There has never been a time in history when people needed the Lord more than they do today! We MUST tell people everywhere that JESUS SAVES!
