God didn't just save Paul from his sins and from the wrath of God, AND GIFT HIM with everlasting life; the Lord Jesus saved him and called him to be a preacher, teacher, evangelist, apostle, but also TO BE A PATTERN, an EXAMPLE, and a MODEL for other infamous and terrible sinners TO SEE, that they might also believe on Christ! 1 Timothy 1:15 AGAIN!!! Christ saved Saul of Tarsus to be a PATTERN to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting! What great hope Paul's salvation gives to the worst of sinners! I don't know of ANY OTHER sinner that was saved in the Word…. that gave his testimony more than Paul! What is a PATTERN? A sketch, a type, a model, or an example for others to imitate, emulate, and follow! |
