1 Timothy 1:16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might show his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
Just a short added on phrase, not the main thought of Paul's writing to Timothy but it is a wonderful thought. The Sadducees in Jesus' day didn't believe in a resurrection. We know better, for we know that out of the two choices we make while we are alive on earth, will determine how we end up after we are resurrected.
Choice 1: Follow Satan's way - Eternal punishment in the lake of fire! - A horrifying thought
Choice 2: Follow God's way - Eternal life with Christ! - A wonderful thought
Daughter, as the old poem goes Only one life will soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last.
Choose to follow Christ then wallow in the thought; You have eternal life!
~Dad
Wallow - Look at Webster's 3rd definition: 3 : to devote oneself entirely especially : to take unrestrained pleasure : delight
