Purpose: Sent To Save Sinners by SonofIssachar: 1:54am On Sep 09, 2013 |
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. – 1 Timothy 1:15 We probably have considered this all-important purpose of Jesus in one of the previous editions of our Purpose series. It is one purpose that cannot be overemphasised, as the understanding of it is at the core of our wellbeing and optimal manifestation. It is true that Jesus came to the world primarily to save all sinners. The apostle affirms that it is not just true, but is a faithful saying that is worthy of acceptance by everyone. Sin became the second nature of humans after the fall in the Garden of Eden, while subsequent activities and descendants of man were all enmeshed in sin and marked with imperfection. Eventually God decided it was enough seeing humans operating in the fallen state – deprived, denied and reduced on account of sin. So there was need to upgrade humans from the level of sin to the heights of glory where communing with God and functioning on earth would be with ease, as God intended it to be in the beginning. To achieve that, certain things must be done: there must be a judgement, there must be suffering and there must be death as representations of what each individual would need to experience in his/her individual capacity as a sinful soul. But, instead of handing over humans to be punished as deserved, God decided to send His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world so He could stand in the gap for humans and take the judgement, the suffering and the death due to everyone; thus nullifying the power of condemnation over us and positioning Himself as the propitiation for our sins.
