Paul was a persecutor of Christians.He was a Pharisee, tasked with arresting, stoning and threatening those following this newfound religion that claimed a dead man came to life to prove he was God.Then one day, on a road to Damascus to break up more churches, Paul met this Jesus and his life changed.Now Paul became the world's greatest evangelist, church planter and spokesman for Jesus Christ.His letters to churches and individuals were meant to instruct, guide and rebuke people in this newfound faith. They did that then and they do so now.He wrote more books of the Bible than any other author. Thirteen total.By praying through Paul's letters, you'll have a deeper understanding of God's grace and Jesus' sacrifice for you.
