Luke 15:7-10
7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
8 Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
9 And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
As Christians we often think we need to save the world and every person that we come into contact with. Of course it would be amazing if every person that is near and dear to us receives salvation.
But we also must remember that all things are done by grace. God is expressing his heart in these verses. He doesn't want self-righteous people to come to him. God calls for the sinners to repentance. Why?
Because sinners need saving and the true gospel. When we realize the evilness that is in us, we naturally become thankful for God who saved us. We are wretched, but he still extends his love to all of us.
Verse 10 tells us that even the angels become happy when we accept this precious gospel. The kingdom is so happy if even one person receives salvation through you. God is also happy if you yourself received the blessing of eternal life.
We do not have to worry about "saving" anyone, because we are not the savior...Jesus is! Amen!
