The Holy Spirit’s ministry is expressed through spiritual gifts in the entire body (1Cor 12) but is best expressed through genuine love (1cor 13). Authority, even Paul’s authority was nothing without love. In Paul’s second letter to the Thessalonains he makes an a direct authoritative statement.

- What is Biblical Submission
No man carries on a campaign of persecution without having what he believes to be sufficient information to fan his hatred. Paul’s knowledge of Jesus prior to his conversion seems only to have inflamed his antagonism, being convinced as he was that Jesus was a discredited impostor and His followers actually dangerous to the nation’s future in preaching their delusions.
New Living Translation. Paul Defends His Authority. 10 Now I, Paul, appeal to you with the gentleness and kindness of Christ—though I realize you think I am timid in person and bold only when I write from far away. 2 Well, I am begging you now so that when I come I won’t have to be bold with those who think we act from human motives.

In Acts 9we learn that Paul/Saul was breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord. He went to the High Priest, and asked for letters from him. He would take the letters from the High Priest to the synagogues of Damascus. If he found any belonging to the “Way”, both men and women, he would bring them bound to Jerusalem. As he was t...
In Romans 1:1Paul makes these claims: 1. He is abond-slaveof Jesus Christ, 2. He is called as anapostle, 3. He is set apartfor the gospel of God. With this introduction Paul steps right out and lets his reader know that he is a man of authority. Authority given to him from God and Christ Jesus. This authority, this calling, and chosing he did not t...
Are There Still Apostles Today? Yes and No!
We will look at NO first. I believe it is to our benefit to make a distinction between those Christ called tolay the foundation of the church, and those who continue today preaching the truths first laid out by the “APOSTLES.” Let’s look at some qualifications that are taught in scripture concerning these first Apostles. Listed below are a few qualifications that were uniqueto them. 1. They were eyewitnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Acts 1:22 2. They were specifically commissioned...
Now to answer “Yes” are there apostles today? From our studies we know that the word apostle means one sent out with a message. We have pastors, elders, missionaries and evangelists who have been called out by God to teach and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. But, these men cannot make the same claims as Paul and the others. 1. They certainly hav...
Why is it important for us to understand Paul’s God-given authority? We are going to answer this question from the angle of the infallible word of God. If I do not believe that Paul and all the other writers of the Bible were inspired by God through the Holy Spirit to write His word, my faith is useless. How can I decide what is right or wrong with...
The Original Apostles Laid the foundation of the church. Our pastors, Elders, missionaries, evangelists are building on that original foundation. In Matthew 28:18-20Jesus teaches, ” All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the ...
Micah 6:8teaches, ” He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” As a bond-slave of Jesus Christ, one whose will is consumed with the will of Christ, 1. Do justice 2. Love Kindness 3. Submit to the Bibles Authority
Feb 6, 2024 · The story of Paul is a story of redemption in Jesus Christ and a testimony that no one is beyond the saving grace of the Lord. However, to gain the full measure of the man, we must examine his dark side and what he symbolized before becoming “the Apostle of Grace.”. Paul’s early life was marked by religious zeal, brutal violence, and the ...
Aug 19, 2020 · Arguing autobiographically, Paul declared that (1) he was an apostle before he met the other apostles; (2) when he did meet them he was received as an equal; (3) and he even found it necessary to rebuke Peter, the reputed chief apostle. In Galatians 1:11–12, Paul states his theme: his message and ministry are of divine origin.

Galatians 1:1-3. Paul, an apostle — Here it was necessary for Paul to assert his authority, otherwise he is very modest in the use of this title. He seldom mentions it when he joins others with himself in the salutations, as in the epistles to the Philippians and Thessalonians; or when he writes about secular affairs, as in that to Philemon: nor yet in writing to the Hebrews.
