I Timothy 1:15-17
It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

“I know not how to express better what my sins appear to me to be, than by heaping infinite upon infinite, and multiplying infinite by infinite. When I look into my heart and take a view of my wickedness, it looks like an abyss infinitely deep, and yet it seems to me that my conviction of sin is exceeding small and faint.”
Excerpt from Letters to a Soul Seeking Jesus – Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Paul calls himself the foremost of sinners. R.M. M’Cheyne compares his sin to infinity.

As I read these passages, I came away with two thoughts.

I really do not fully understand the depth of my sin. I do not view myself properly in light of the real sin in my life. I wonder just how many of us really understand?
The grace of God and the sacrifice of Jesus is much more than I can comprehend. It has to cover an infinity of sin. However, I believe that it is sufficient because He said so.

Does that change how you view repentance? At least for me, I think I should spend more time in repentance than in supplication.

Heavenly Father, Your grace is without limit. I admit that I don’t fully see the sin in my life. I pray that as You reveal it to me, I will understand, repent, and turn away from it. I ask for your forgiveness. May You be glorified in all that I do and say. Asking all in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Always praying for the glory of God,
