"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display His immense patience as an example for those who would believe in Him and receive eternal life."
-I Timothy 1:15-16 (NIV)

Even though I am getting older and have the responsibilities of adulthood, I sometimes find it hard to see myself as an adult. It can be even harder thinking of myself as a role model. In his first letter to Timothy, Paul gives all of us a reminder that we are role models!
We are all sinners, but we can be saved. Paul uses himself to demonstrate that the sacrifice of Jesus is powerful enough to save even the worst sinners. We can each be an example or a role model for the saving power of Jesus and for a life well-lived in Him!
Be saved by and live in Jesus so you can be a role model for others!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for saving me from my sin through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Help me to live me life as a role model for others searching for salvation. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
