Only a phone call. ( 1 ) ( 1 Timothy 1 v 15 )

 A  Christian minister had a phone call, nothing unusual about that , but that phone call would change a persons life, and change their eternal destiny. The person said , they wanted to become a Christian, so the minister spent over an hour on the phone, listening ,answering questions, and explaining  why a person needs to come to Christ. The reason being to have ones sin forgiven ,and the cost of being a Christian, in the end the lady trusted Jesus to be her Saviour.  It is important to realise that we are all sinners ( Romans 3 v 23 ),no one is excluded from the condition of being a sinner. Let me stress this, no one ,no matter how nice they are, is sinless, nothing can change that fact, we are born with a nature ,that is sinful. So our lives reflect that, in one  way or another, and to a greater or lesser extent. All people are not murders, but they could be, who knows the evil any of us could commit . In Jeremiah 19  v 9, we read, 'The human heart is  the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked , who knows had bad it is'. How many people never imagined ,they could have done such and such  a thing, but they did. Only God could provide an  answer, yes only God, and His answer was Christ death on the cross, His death satisfied a just God, so making a way for our salvation, do you want to make that phone call?. We will continue this next time.
