The Central Union Church of Christ
Where Sinners Meet the Grace of God
Mass Murderer
Baptized!
Acts 9 and 22
"Nearly everyone raises the question about Jeff's
sincerity. But I was there, and these questioners
weren't... I am convinced that he was totally
sincere in his desire... He had accepted the fact
that he would die in prison. Jeff had nothing to
gain in this life by being baptized; he had
everything to gain in the next life.“
"I'm sure the apostle Paul had trouble convincing
Christians that he had changed, but we don't
question his sincerity today."
Both were responsible for the death of many innocent
victims.
Both conversions were unexpected, almost shocking.
Both had difficulty convincing others that they had changed.
Both after being Christians had men who seek to end their
lives.
Most significant, however, is that both conversions testify that
there are no "impossible cases" with God.
If Dahmer and Paul could be saved, anyone can be saved!
If Jeffrey Dahmer and Saul of
Tarsus could be saved, anyone
can be saved!
1 Timothy 1:15-16
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all
acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am
chief.
Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy,
that in me first Jesus Christ might shew
forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them
which should hereafter believe on him to
life everlasting.
