Paul, late in his life wrote these final books to his "true son in the faith" Timothy. In this book he describes himself as the "worst of sinners". He didn't say he WAS the worst! He said he IS the worst. Compared to what? He definitely would have not been the worst in comparison to anyone here. We would have likely considered him "the least sinful".
Paul's closeness to Christ only made him more aware of his sin. The closer he got, the more aware he was of how far he was away. Yet his desire was to pursue Christ even harder! He knew it was the best way to live his earthly life.
What is our desire?
