Paul, an ultra-orthodox Jew who despised and loathed Christians, violently dragging men, women, and children from their homes to imprison and kill them, was SAVED BY GRACE on the road to Damascus. God revealed to him the mystery of the dispensation of grace!
Why did God choose Paul to reveal one of His greatest mysteries?
He didn't disclose it to His beloved, faithful, and obedient, apostle John.
Instead, He chose someone who utterly despised and detested the Christian Church, someone who was directly involved in Jesus' death. He selected someone whose mission was to violently dismantle and destroy the body of Christ.
Paul is the perfect example of being saved by grace. He didn't do anything to deserve it —in fact, all his actions were against God!
The greatest mystery of the ages was revealed to Paul —The Dispensation of Grace!
He was fully able to comprehend the incredible grace and mercy of God, propelling him to preach it courageously, wholeheartedly, and boldly—having been the recipient of such grace after committing the most heinous crimes against God and the Body of Christ.
Do not think for one second that you are too far gone!
That's a lie from the pit of hell!
Satan believed, when Jesus died, that it was the end and that he had won— that nobody would ever be saved again.
HOWEVER, His death unlocked the power of His blood and the grace of God, available now to ALL who believe in Him and His work on the cross.
Now Satan's job is to keep it hidden and make you feel there's no hope for you! However, the same grace that saved Paul, saved all of us (His Church) and can save YOU!
We are all small examples of Paul, representing His undeserving love even after sinning against Him.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Eph 2:8
As a Church, we continually remind Satan of his defeat by unveiling constantly God's mystery and wisdom to the spiritual forces of this world. I'm sure they shake their heads with disbelief when they see us all the time!
"to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places" Eph 3:10
We are in the dispensation of grace, allow the same grace that saved Paul and save us, save you today, AND KEEP YOU SAVED UNTIL HE COMES FOR HIS CHURCH!
Walk into His kingdom!
Believe Jesus is the Son of God, who shed His blood for you, died on the cross for our sins, He was buried and resurrected during the third day, according to the Scriptures, so we can have eternal life with Him.
The moment you believe in Him and that He died for your sins - you're saved, justified, sealed until the day of redemption, and rapture ready!
The Holy Spirit will come to live inside of you - He will help you, guide you, change you, and be with you FOREVER!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." (John 3:16-18)
