GOSPEL NUGGET # 275

Are You Too Good For Jesus?

For whom did the Lord Jesus Christ come to die and save?


* 1Ti 1:15 ...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners...
* Lu 5:32 "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."
* Ro 3:10 ..."There is none righteous, no, not one;"
* Ro 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
* Lu 19:10 "...the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
* Ro 4:5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly...

The Lord Jesus came to save sinners. He came for unrighteousness people and not for righteous people since there are none righteous in God's sight. All have sinned. All are spiritually lost. It is the "ungodly" whom God justifies and saves.

If you want to be saved and want to be with God and enjoy Him forever, then you must take the lowly place and admit and realize who and what you really are in God's sight---a sinner in need of the Savior.

If not, if you take the proud place of self-righteousness in believing that you are good enough in yourself for God to save you, then I am just so sorry for you. You are too good for Jesus. He saves sinners only.
