Re: self-reflexion
I see your point, but in terms of what He did for God after His conversion, it Is far more than what we will ever do in terms of how significant he was.

Why? because he wrote letters? because those letters later became canon? because He converted so many?Sam1995 wrote:I see your point, but in terms of what He did for God after His conversion, it Is far more than what we will ever do in terms of how significant he was.
For a time He was Barnabas' aide more than anything else.
In Paul's own words, It isn't about Him ( or any other apostle), its about Christ.
We must certainly give Paul his due BUT we must never lose sight that he was only human, flawed and in need of redemption like Us and that all he was able to do was BECAUSE of Christ, not because of himself.

Hana, when you start to feel unworthy or bad about yourself, focus on Jesus Christ, and what He did for YOU. Don't get down on yourself.1over137 wrote:My profile says back I am Christian. Thanks for support.
