How To Be Changed Like Paul πŸ•ŠπŸŒΏπŸŒΌ

How To Be Changed Like Paul:
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, (Romans 1:1​ ESV)
The secret of Paul’s greatness is that he was first a “servant” and second an “apostle.”
To understand and emulate Paul, we need to focus on his relationship with Jesus before we look at his feats of faith.
We should be astounded that Paul submitted to the authority of a man killed as a Jewish blasphemer and heretic—Jesus of Nazareth.
That is the power of the gospel to change people—to change us. There is no power greater and no heart too far. What an encouragement—and challenge to our limited beliefs—the life of Paul is. The gospel can change any heart, any time, anywhere.
The heart of Paul’s ministry is his intimacy and obedience to Jesus. He was a man under orders, not in control of his own life and destiny.
He looked to Jesus. He listened to Jesus. He obeyed Jesus.
He was a servant before he was an apostle. A man who gave up control of his life; who modeled what it means to submit to Jesus as Lord.
Are you a servant of Jesus? And more importantly, do you live like it? -SD Devotional
Happy and Joyful Sabbath as We are filled with this Hope that Burns within our Hearts....We are United in Christ!  
Jesus is Coming Very Soon! PRAISE THE LORD!πŸ’–
