Christians can sometimes treat the gospel like an old toy that has lost its shine. In 1 Timothy 1:12–17, the Apostle Paul helps us recover our wonder at God's saving grace. Reflecting on his own conversion, Paul marvels that Jesus Christ would save and commission a former blasphemer, persecutor, and violent enemy of the church. Through Paul's testimony, we discover that God saves exactly who He came to save—sinners. His salvation displays His perfect patience, deep mercy, and glorious grace. The result is a life of humble gratitude and eternal praise. If the gospel has become ordinary to you, this passage invites you to look again at Christ Jesus, who came into the world to save sinners.
