Paul's Claims
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Paul’s Spirit-inspired claims for the distinctive
character of his apostleship leave no room for doubt. Consider a sampling of
these.
Romans 11:13: “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I AM THE APOSTLE OF THE GENTILES: I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE”.
Romans 11:13: “For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I AM THE APOSTLE OF THE GENTILES: I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE”.
Galatians 1:11,12: “But I certify you, brethren, that the
gospel which was preached of me is NOT AFTER MAN.
“FOR I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT
IT, BUT BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.”
Ephesians 3:1-3: “For this cause, I PAUL, THE PRISONER OF
JESUS CHRIST FOR YOU GENTILES,
“If ye have heard of THE DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD,
WHICH IS GIVEN ME TO YOU-WARD:
“How that BY REVELATION HE MADE KNOWN UNTO ME THE
MYSTERY….”
Colossians 1:25: “…I am made a minister, according to THE
DISPENSATION OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN TO ME FOR YOU, to fulfill [fill full, or
complete] the Word of God”.
I Timothy 2:5-7: “For there is one God, and one Mediator
between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus;
“Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due
time.
“WHEREUNTO I AM ORDAINED A PREACH-ER, AND AN APOSTLE (I
SPEAK THE TRUTH IN CHRIST, AND LIE NOT); A TEACHER OF THE GENTILES IN FAITH AND
VERITY.”
Titus 1:2,3: “In hope of eternal life, which God, that
cannot lie; promised before the world began;
“But hath in due times manifested His Word THROUGH
PREACHING WHICH IS COMMITTED UNTO ME, according to the commandment of God our
Saviour.”
What is the Gospel?
Believing
Christ died, that’s HISTORY.
Believing
Christ died for YOUR sins and rose again, that’s SALVATION.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I
preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which
also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye
have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I
also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And
that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the
scriptures. 1. Corinthians 15:1-4
How
God Saves Men
Believing
Christ DIED, that’s HISTORY.
Believing
Christ DIED for YOU SINS and Rose again that’s SALVATION.
