Praise for God’s grace. We can praise him for the grace he showed to Paul, making him part of his church, and for the grace he has shown to you and me. What a privilege to be part of the community where the truth of God is heard and proclaimed! What a privilege to know Christ, to be assured of life in God’s glory despite our many sins and failures! Throughout his life, Paul marvelled at the mercy that was shown to him. He realized that he deserved nothing from God but wrath. Everything he received was grace. May the Spirit help us to see and acknowledge the same.
11 For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel.
