Henderson told his 306,000 Instagram followers to stop believing the lie of devil that no human being is ever too far gone to be saved by Jesus.

“To the ones who feels as if they are too far gone, stop letting the devil lie to you,” the professional running back said. “I’m living proof that you are not too far gone. Christ didn’t come for the perfect one, He came for the one who acknowledges that they are a sinner and in need for a savior.”

He then quoted Luke 5:31-32: “Jesus answered them, ‘Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have a come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.'”

Henderson continued, “The devil calls you by your sin, but Christ calls you by name! Jesus is calling you out of sin and into a relationship with Him if you believe and [receive] him as your Lord and Savior.”
