January 15, 2025 – A Hospital for Sinners
Romans 8:1-2
Sermon: 1679 A Foundation for the Family, Part 2
Pray Over This
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.”
Romans 8:1-2
Ponder This
If you’ve repented of your sin and given your heart to Jesus Christ, there is no such thing as a second-class citizen of Heaven. The Church is not a showcase for saints; it’s a hospital for sinners. We’re here to help others who need help. Which one of us is without our own sin?
In John 4, Jesus spoke to the woman at the well, who many believe was an outcast. She had had five husbands. But rather than condemning her, Jesus knew the thirst of her soul. And Jesus knew she’d been trying to find what He alone could give her. He didn’t condemn her. He saved her, brought her to Himself. And what would Jesus do today? I’ll tell you what He would do. He would do what He’s always done. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ, the same today, yesterday, today, and forever.” God is ready to heal you, restore you, and make you new—no matter your past or your sin struggle. Come to Him, repent, and be redeemed.
