Re:Verse passage – Galatians 1:11-24 (day five)
“For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.”
Does God save “good” people, or does He save “bad” people? The answer according to Paul, is YES!! Both!!
I like the words of Tim Keller as he expounds on this truth.
The gospel calls us out of religion as much as it calls us out of irreligion. No one is so good they don’t need the grace of the gospel, nor so bad that they cannot receive the grace of the gospel.
There is hope and salvation available for all of us who will repent and believe. That is Amazing Grace!!
Amen!
