Jesus saves even the most desperate sinners.

Amen. That He does.

Not with empty rituals or invocations by "another Christ" or through the intercession of a "co-mediator" or by storing up banks of other people's righteousness or by anything good we ourselves can do, say, think or believe.

Christ saves sinners according to the grace of God, for His glory and the welfare of His saints.

" So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy." -- Romans 9:16

Remember Mt 7 21: 22. Self serving justification is questionable.

In Lk 17 4 Jesus commands us to reprove our brothers who do not follow His Word as when their prideful private interpretations are used as surrogates for the Word of God

Be mindful and incorporate into life the command of Mt 23 :12 and exercise humility.

As for the co -mediator or storing up banks of others righteousness, perhaps that is realm of the Universal Unitarians or Four Square Semple Aimee or the UFO ilk. Ask them. I only deal in the words of Jesus. God bless
