I read in 1 Timothy that even fornicators and murderers could get salvation.
Indeed, salvation is bigger than any sin, and God's love is bigger than any sin, stronger and more capable. Think of people saying of the "leaven and the lump", that a little harm goes a long way in a group, while conversely, a little good can cover a multitude of sins.
There was an evangelist in Texas, one told of as a heretic, a millionaire preacher who jets around the globe collecting money. He did something we can point to as a good, in the form of ministering to a death row inmate, ministering to him of Christ's love and forgiveness.
Christ's goodness and God's love is so much stronger, so much more important than anything we could do, good or bad in the long run, and we'd be apt to remember that. In conversation my with my first home pastor, we talked, and I was explaining that a friend said I was supposedly, "better than him" because I had gotten saved, but I told him that I was still a man, still broken and sin riddled, but what separated me from him was my hope in glory.
I had realized God's love and Christ's goodness, and that gave me hope. I had accepted the love of Christ, where some say they had "received it". But my, I was always "receiving" Christ, but I was sin-blind until my thirty-fifth year on earth before I could grab hold of the message and feel that hope, real Christian joy and peace.
