Sermon: 1 Timothy 1:12-17
October 21st, 2007 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have posted my sermon for today on my sermon blog. It’s the second in my series on “God’s advice For Daily Living” based on the Epistle of 1 Timothy. Today’s sermon — ‘God’s Advice For Daily Living: Be Saved By God’s Grace” is based on 1 Timothy 1:12-17.
Here’s a portion of it:
It comes down to this. You can forget the past, because God has forgotten the past. He is concerned with who you’re becoming, rather than who you’ve been. If there are mistakes you made years ago, or months ago—or even days ago—I want you to know that God is willing to put it behind you and give you a chance to start over. You may have to live with the consequences of your mistakes, but you don’t have to live with the guilt or the shame. He will set you free from all of it, and he will give you a chance to start again. It doesn’t matter who you used to be. In spite of your past, God loves you, he will change you, and he will use you—if you open your heart to him.
