Profile: The Apostle Paul
Now, let’s do a profile on Paul’s life.
Let’s look at the LOGOS “divine reason or word of God.”
Paul’s Journey begins:
Acts 8:1-8; Acts 9:1-31; Acts 11:19-30; Acts 12-28.
Paul’s Epistles:
Romans; 1 Corinthians; 2 Corinthians; Galatians; Ephesians; Philippians; Colossians; 1 Thessalonians; 2 Thessalonians; 1 Timothy; 2 Timothy; Titus; Philemon; Hebrews, but we’re not sure if Paul wrote this Epistle.
What did we learn from this Bible character?
Paul’s call to apostleship:
Galatians 1:11-17.
Paul’s mission to the Gentiles:
In the Bible, Paul’s call to bring light to the Gentiles is described in Acts 13:47, which says, “For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have made you a light of the Gentiles so that you should be for salvation to the end of the world’.”
Paul believed that the People of God should take the Good News to all nations. The term “Gentiles” referred to any ethnic group other than the Jews in the first century. Paul’s message was a turning point in the early church’s mission, as it expanded the mission to include all nations.
Here comes the RHEMA WORDS “spoken word of God.”
Unlike Jonah, who ran from the call of God on his life and ended up being swallowed by a big🐠fish; Jonah 1:17.
Paul did not run from his call. He was eager to get the job done, to go and preach the gospel to the Gentiles and to the nations. I guess losing his sight in Acts 9:8 was a great motivator. I would run too if God performed a miracle after I went temporarily blind🧐smile!
Question: What miracles has God performed in your life? Show Him your gratitude by answering the call of God on your life. That’s how we say thank you: because you bless me, Father God; because you took care of this thing for me; I’m going to bless you back.
This is just a brief synopsis of…
