“I Have Done Too Many Wrong Things”

“I Have Done Too Many Wrong Things”

……..’ For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.”(Matt 9:13)

Jesus told the people of his day that he had come to call sinners. That
means Jesus came to find those who knew they had done the wrong thing
by God. Only Jesus could do for us what he did. As we are told in Romans
chapter 5;

“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the
ungodly.”(Romans 5:6)

That is the wonderful thing that Jesus has done for all of us. He knew
none of us could get our act together with God without his help. That is
why he died to give us the opportunity to be friends with God again.
The writer in the first letter to Timothy said;

The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the foremost. 1 Timothy
1:15

So knowing that we have done the wrong thing by God can actually be a
help to us in getting to know God. It can actually help to guide us to God!

“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are
sick.” (Matt 9:12)

People need God, NOT because they are doing all the right things but
because they are not!

God is perfect and Holy and a person can never hope to achieve the
standard God needs.

It would be like trying to swim to England from Australia. You may go one
kilometre or three or four but eventually you just could not make the
distance. It is the same with the holiness of God, we can never attain to it
by our own actions.

But the good news is that by turning to Jesus we can be acceptable to
God because of what Jesus has done for us.

You just need to believe God is there. Talk to him and admit you have
done wrong things. Ask for his forgiveness and ask that Jesus would come
into your life to guide your life.
