1 Timothy 1:15

“The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.”

Paul looks back on his life and tells a remarkable story. He remembers his successes, but speaks most openly about his failures. One cannot help but notice that the more honestly he tells his story, the more grateful he becomes. His past hasn’t disappeared, but the way he understands it has changed.
