But look at the apostle Paul’s testimony! He called himself the worst of all sinners, not to hold himself to his past, but to illustrate that if God could use him, He could use anyone. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to guide and use us today. We all have a testimony!

So let’s have patience with those who are deep in their sin and show them the amazing love and salvation that God freely gives.

Daily Devotional | Grace in Conviction | 1 Timothy 1:9–11 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:9–11. As Christians, we aren’t called to live under Old Testament law. At the same time, the good news of salvation has to be prefaced with the law. Why? To bring conviction of sins. We have to know and confess our sins before we can appreciate our Savior. Let’s thank Jesus for all He has saved us from!

Daily Devotional | Admitting Our Needs | 1 Timothy 1:7–9 | Pastor Jim Cymbala

Join Pastor Jim Cymbala for today’s daily devotional from 1 Timothy 1:7–9. Born-again Christian believers are not meant to live under the law of Moses. Saying that confuses and even angers some people! But we’re helpless to abide by every single law. Jesus died on the cross so that we could get out from legalism and law-based faith. We have to tell our Savior that we’re hopeless without Him. God is our salvation and our hope.
