GOSPEL NUGGET # 228


Are You A Great Sinner?

Many people think that in the gradation of being a sinner they are not as great a sinner as the murderers, rapists, robbers etc. They say "I am a sinner but not as great as the others."

Really now! What is the great commandment?

Mt 22:36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?"
37 Jesus said to him," 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

Loving God with all of our being is the greatest commandment of all. Therefore not to love God with all our being IS the greatest sin of all. Have you loved God with all your being?

You may not have committed murder, robbery, rape etc., you may be a moral person in good standing and respected in the eyes of society, but if you have not loved God with all your being, you are a GREAT sinner! You are no different than the rest.

And so, therefore, we are all great sinners in the eyes of God! We cannot afford to face God this way. We need a great Savior, and that Savior is the Lord Jesus Christ.

Come to Him in faith and receive a great salvation from a great Savior for a great sinner like you.
