The value of learning about Paul’s life is that we learn about Christ and his amazing grace and how Paul desired to tell the world about it

As Christians we need to appeal to as many people in our society as possible. Paul wanted to speak about Jesus all of the time, and while most of us don’t, we should.

I feel that Paul’s life demonstrates the qualities of commitment and flexibility. I’m interested in how he was a zealous persecutor of Christians and then converted to a zealous promoter of the message of Jesus. This shows me his commitment (or devotion really) to his beliefs but also that he is flexible enough to learn and change. I also see his flexibility in the way in which he is able to mould himself into whichever persona is necessary in order to reach people from all walks of life and backgrounds.

One of the values of Paul’s life was he was no respecter of person. He would also be who he needed to be to preach the gospel to someone. Sometimes we as Christians will use language that an unbeliever doesn’t understand. Paul says in 1 Cor. 9:20 that when he is with someone, he becomes them without jeopardizing his belief in Jesus. His only concern is to bring them to Christ.
How to spread the gospel and not lose the importance of the message while conversing with someone would be a great value in learning about Paul’s life. -
Even though Paul faced difficulties, he would react not as some may react today. Looking forward as I continue to go through these lessons.
