Even when the choice is clear it’s not always so easy to make the right one. When I’ve made the wrong choice it’s not always easy to admit my sin to God. Nor ...read more

Three Looks Of The Apostle Paul

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 14, 2022

God saved Paul because He loved him. That is, God saved Paul for the same reason He saves any man or woman.

God is not willing that any should perish. After God saved Paul, God used him to show us that we can not be saved through our lineage, or good works. For example, in verses 4-6, Paul is laying his past life out before us. And, if anyone had a right to boast in their lineage and ...read more
