Sermons on Paul And Rome:

Both Saint And A Sinner

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 30, 2024

In the beginning of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul refers to these quarrelsome and divisive members of the Church of Corinth as "Saints." Can I be both Just and a Sinner, at the same time?

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 18, 2014

In this passage, Paul identified himself with the writer of Psalm 116. Paul, like the psalmist, had experienced the “terrors of the grave,” and God’s deliverance. “Death had its hands around [Paul’s] throat” (Ps. 116:3), and He knew that he could die.
