God's Desire For His Church: Mercy and Overflowing Grace
The Bible is clear, no one is saved by their own goodness or works, but one can only be saved by God's grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, alone. But if someone would think that they are beyond saving, because they have just lived too bad of a life, then this passages demonstrates the hope that anyone has who trusts in Christ Jesus. Because the truth of the matter is, God saves even the worst of sinners. And not only does He save sinners who trust in Christ alone for their salvation, but then he calls them into His service, to be an instrument of His glory. This was true of the Apostle Paul and it is true of us, who trust in Christ. And now that we are called into the service of our King, that service includes preaching and defending the Gospel. The Gospel of the person and work of Jesus Christ. The Gospel that was shared with us, that we would know our need of salvation and turn to Jesus alone to be saved, and so come to know God's mercy and overflowing grace. That Gospel is the message we have been entrusted with to proclaim and defend.
