Ref. DLG B2 : Chief Sinners

'' This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief  '' 1 timothy 1:15

Chief sinners are those who are noted for their evil deeds even by the public , their sins are open for every body to see . They sin openly not in the secret , they are wicked people who do not care about what people think or say about their sinful behaviour . Chief sinners are in the category of notorious criminals , like arm robbers , murderers , and people who practice all forms of sexual perversion like lesbians , homosexuals , prostitutes etc. 

Paul who was formerly known as Saul , did so many wicked things against the children of God , by persecuting them to point of stoning them to death ,or imprisoning Christians . All christians in the early church knew Saul { Paul } as an evil person who sought to destroy the church . '' Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: '' Acts 9:13 The opening scripture talks about why Yeshua came , is to save the worst of sinners like Paul  and the like .

One of such chief sinners is the woman caught in adultery , they wanted to stone her according to the commandment in the Law of Moses , but Yeshua saved her .Jesus saves chief sinners with a warning  ''...Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. '' John 8:11 Another chief sinner that God saved was Zaccheus the tax collector , a notorious one for that matter .'' And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. '' luke 19:7 Jesus made it clear to them after Zaccheus confessed that he will restore and give back what he took by fraud , that salvation has come to his house .

''And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.'' Luke 19:9-10 Chief sinners are saved on the platform of repentance and their sins are forgiven . Chief sinners must first of all acknowledge their sins , before and then ask God for forgiveness of sins .

''  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. '' 1 John 1:9-10 That salvation that comes through Yeshua is for sinners , that includes the worst and the most sinful ones referred to s the Chief sinners .

Prayer 

Lord Jesus thank you for your mercies for chief  sinners . Lord cleanse me of all my sins and use me and use me to minister to chief sinners,so that they can be saved in the name of Yeshua .
