Right Thinking is shown many times by Paul, but this statement in 1 Timothy is most notable, an attitude that needs to be shared by all who seek Covenant Relationship with the Most High God, the King of the Universe.
1 Timothy 1:12. I have received undeserved kindness from Messiah Y’shua, the One Who made me strong in our Lord, because He considered me faithful when He placed me in ministry 13. although I was formerly a blasphemer and persecutor and arrogant, but I received mercy, because, not knowing, I acted in unbelief: 14. and the grace of our Lord overflowed with faith and love in Messiah Y’shua. 15. The statement is faithful and worthy of all approval, that Messiah Y’shua came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am foremost. 16. But I received mercy because of this, so that Messiah Y’shua would show all patience with me first, for an example for those who were going to believe in Him for eternal life. 17. Now to the Eternal King, Immortal, Invisible, the Only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
