00:00:27 The gospel is for sinners. If you are not a sinner, Jesus is not for you. 0.98
00:00:35 If you are not a sinner, the gospel is not for you. If you are a basically good person who's
00:00:43 made some mistakes along the way, the gospel is not for you. If you are a victim, that ultimately
00:00:51 all of your failures can be tracked back to the sin of someone else, but you yourself, if protected
00:00:59 in a vacuum, in a perfect scenario, a perfect context, if it wasn't for all the toxic people
00:01:05 around you, you would have done very well. If that's you, then the gospel is not for you.
00:01:11 Christ died for sinners. He died for sinners. It is true that Christ came to save the world.
00:01:21 to john 3 16 17 18 and following we see for god so loved the world that he sent his only begotten
00:01:27 son that whoever should believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life god did not send his
00:01:33 son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him
00:01:39 jesus came to save the world he came to save the world to save humanity to save people
00:01:49 but throughout scripture we find that there is a specific type of person in a particular sense
00:01:55 that jesus came to save he came to save people yes but he came to save specifically sinners
00:02:03 now the reality is that all people are sinners all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of god
00:02:09 if christ came to save sinners then there is a sense in which christ came to save all because
00:02:15 all fall into that category of sinners. But what's unique in our text today, what rises to the top
00:02:23 of what Paul's saying is not only that Paul is a sinner, but what we should glean from the text is
00:02:29 that Paul has an acute recognition of his sinfulness. It's not only that he is objectively
00:02:35 sinful, but it is that he is aware of his sinfulness. The sinners that Christ came to save
00:02:43 are not just great sinners but great sinners who are aware and acknowledge their great sinfulness
00:02:50 everyone is a sinner the determinative factor between the two the sinner and the self-righteous
00:02:59 is not at the objective level of someone who actually didn't sin that person doesn't exist
00:03:04 everyone at the objective level he is in fact a sinner the determining factor between two different
00:03:10 kinds of people, the sinner and the self-righteous, is that the sinner admits his sin. He acknowledges
00:03:17 his sin, and he looks to Christ as the only Savior for his sin. And this is the gospel that Paul
00:03:26 exalts in in our text today. Stephen J. Cole, in his commentary on this particular passage, says
00:03:34 this, Christ came to save sinners. If you're a basically good person, church-going person,
00:03:39 that Christ did not come to save you. He came to save sinners only. If you're a person with a few
00:03:46 faults and shortcomings, then Christ did not come to save you. He came to save sinners only. If you're
00:03:53 a person with too much dignity, too much self-worth, right? You're just self-care, self-love, right?
00:04:00 You're just trying to, you know, love yourself so you can better love others, right? Because you love
00:04:03 your neighbor as yourself. And we know that the proper, you know, exegesis of that text is I need
00:04:08 to really focus on myself right now
00:04:10 ultimately so that I can be more caring
00:04:12 towards others. If that's
00:04:14 you, guess what?
00:04:16 Jesus didn't die for you.
00:04:19 He's not your Savior.
00:04:22 He's not.
00:04:25 Christ
00:04:25 came to die for sinners,
00:04:27 not basically good people, not church
00:04:29 going people,
00:04:31 not victims,
00:04:33 and not self-care
00:04:35 enthusiasts. Jesus
00:04:37 came to die for wretches. 1.00
