WHY IS PAUL IN THE BIBLE?
GOOD QUESTION, HERE'S WHY!
HERE ARE SOME KEY KJB SCRIPTURES WHICH PROVE PAUL'S DISTINCTIVE APOSTLESHIP & AUTHORITY GIVEN EXCLUSIVELY TO HIM BY JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF FOR THE CHURCH THE "BODY OF CHRIST".
PAUL’S GOSPEL OFFICIALLY & FULLY DECLARES – THE ONLY GOSPEL WE MUST BELIEVE TODAY THAT WILL SAVE SOULS DURING TODAY'S DISPENSATION OF THE "GRACE OF GOD".
Romans 2:16 KJB: "In the day" when GOD SHALL JUDGE the secrets of MEN by Jesus Christ according to "MY GOSPEL".
Romans 1:16 KJB: For I am not ashamed of "THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST": for "it" (The Gospel of Christ) is “The Power of God” unto SALVATION to every one that BELIEVETH;
1 Corinthians 17,18 KJB:
17. For Christ sent me (Paul) not to (water) baptize, but to Preach "The Gospel" (The Gospel of Christ, I Cor.15:1-4): not with wisdom of words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
18. For the "Preaching of the Cross" (The Gospel of Christ) is to "them" (in unbelief) that perish "FOOLISHNESS"; but unto "us" (body of Christ) which ARE SAVED "it" (The Preaching of the Cross, The Gospel of Christ, I Cor.15:1-4) is "The Power of God".
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB:
1. "Moreover, brethren, I DECLARE unto you "The Gospel" ("of Christ", The Preaching of the Cross, the Good News of salvation) which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have RECEIVED, and wherein ye STAND;
2. By which also YE ARE SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have "BELIEVED IN VAIN".
(concerning the Resurrection, I Cor.15:12-17)
3. For I DELIVERED unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that Christ DIED FOR OUR SINS according to the scriptures;
4. And that He was BURIED, and that He ROSE AGAIN the third day according to the scriptures:
~PAUL, the only masterbuilder & pattern sent by Jesus Christ TO the “Body of Christ”.
===========================
APOSTLE PAUL MAKES IT VERY CLEAR THAT THE ONLY WAY TO OBTAIN SALVATION IS TO ***DO NOTHING*** "ONLY BELIEVE"...
(“doing” anything for salvation = law; works of the flesh)…
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB
8. For by "GRACE" (God's Unmerited Favor, Goodness of God) ARE YE SAVED through FAITH (The Faith of Christ, the Righteousness of God, Gal.2:16, Phil.3:9); and that NOT OF YOURSELVES (self performance): “it” (salvation) is “The Gift of God”:
9. NOT OF WORKS (law, works of the flesh), lest any man should boast.
Romans 11:6 KJB: And IF by "GRACE" (God's Unmerited Favor, the Goodness of God), then is it NO MORE of works: ((( OTHERWISE ))) GRACE IS NO MORE GRACE. But if it be of works, then is it NO MORE GRACE: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 4:5 KJB: But to "him" (believer) that WORKETH NOT, but BELIEVETH on Him (In WHAT Jesus did in His Finished Cross-work) that justifieth the ungodly, his Faith IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Romans 4:14 KJB: For if THEY WHICH ARE OF THE LAW be heirs, FAITH IS MADE VOID, and the promise MADE OF NONE EFFECT:
Galatians 5:4a KJB: Christ is become of NO EFFECT UNTO YOU, whosoever of you are justified BY THE LAW:
Romans 10:4 KJB: For Christ is the END OF THE LAW for righteousness to EVERY ONE that BELIEVETH.
Romans 3:22a KJB: Even the Righteousness of God which is by
"Faith of Jesus Christ" unto all and UPON ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE;
~PAUL, the only masterbuilder & pattern sent by Jesus Christ Himself TO the Church the “Body of Christ”.
==========================
APOSTLE PAUL WRITES TO THE CHURCH THE "BODY OF CHRIST"...
1 Corinthians 14:37 b KJB: The things that I WRITE unto you are the "COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD".
2 Timothy 3:10a KJB: But thou hast fully known MY DOCTRINE,
1 Timothy 1:3b KJB: TEACH NO OTHER DOCTRINE,
Q: What did Paul WRITE? What is Paul’s DOCTRINE?
A: Romans thru Philemon, KJB
============================
APOSTLE PAUL TELLS US THAT WHAT HE WRITES IS WHAT “SOUND DOCTRINE” IS …
1 Timothy 1:10b-11 KJB:
10. If there be any other thing that is contrary to SOUND DOCTRINE;
11. According to The Glorious Gospel of the blessed God, WHICH WAS COMMITTED TO MY TRUST.
(Who's trust? Paul's trust!)
1 Corinthians 4:16 KJB: Wherefore I (Paul) beseech you, BE YE FOLLOWERS OF ME.
(In other word, we must follow Paul from “Romans through Philemon” in order to follow Christ during today's dispensation of the “Grace of God”, - Ephesians 3:2)
============================
WHY WE NEED TO FOLLOW APOSTLE PAUL …
Romans 15:8 KJB: Now I say that Jesus Christ WAS a minister of the "CIRCUMCISION" [ ie. the Jews. Why? ] for the "Truth of God", TO CONFIRM THE PROMISES made unto the fathers:
(Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob)
2 Timothy 1:11 KJB: Whereunto I (Paul) am APPOINTED a preacher, and an APOSTLE, and a TEACHER of the GENTILES.
Romans 15:16a KJB: That I (Paul) should be the minister of Jesus Christ TO THE GENTILES, ministering “The Gospel of God,
1 Timothy 1:11 KJB: According to the glorious GOSPEL of the blessed God, which was committed to MY TRUST.
(Who trust? Paul's trust!)
Colossians 1:25 KJB: Whereof I AM MADE a minister, according to the DISPENSATION of God which is GIVEN TO ME for you, TO FULFIL “The Word of God";
Romans 11:13 KJB: For I SPEAK TO YOU GENTILES, inasmuch as I (Paul) am the apostle of the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE.
Romans 11:28 KJB: As concerning THE GOSPEL, they ( i.e. the Jews) are ENEMIES for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Galatians 1:11-12 KJB:
11. But I (Paul) certify you, brethren, that THE GOSPEL which was preached of ME is NOT after man.
12. For I neither RECEIVED it of man, neither was I TAUGHT it (by man), but by the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.
~PAUL, the only masterbuilder & pattern sent by Jesus Christ Himself TO the Church the "Body of Christ".
============================
PAUL WRITES TO THE CHURCH THE "BODY OF CHRIST"…
1 Thessalonians 4:2 KJB:
2. For ye know what COMMANDMENTS we gave you BY THE LORD JESUS.
Titus 1:3 KJB:
3. But hath in due times manifested His word through preaching, which is COMMITTED UNTO ME according to the COMMANDMENT OF GOD our Saviour;
Galatians 1:8-9 KJB:
8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
2 Corinthians 11:4 KJB: For if he that cometh preacheth ANOTHER JESUS, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive ANOTHER SPIRIT, which ye have not received, or ANOTHER GOSPEL, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2 Timothy 3:10a KJB: But thou hast fully known MY DOCTRINE,
1 Timothy 1:3b KJB: TEACH NO OTHER DOCTRINE,
==========================
Q: What is Paul’s doctrine?
A: Romans thru Philemon, KJB
===========================
APOSTLE PAUL WRITES TO THE CHURCH THE "BODY OF CHRIST" …
2 Corinthians 5:16-21 KJB:
16. Wherefore henceforth know we “no man” (Christ) after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him (Christ in the flesh) no more.
17. “Therefore if any man be IN CHRIST, HE IS A NEW CREATURE (a new creation, not born again): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
(a new creation in Christ, not a re-birth)
18. And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and HATH GIVEN TO US THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION;
19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, NOT IMPUTING THEIR TRESPASSES UNTO THEM; AND HATH COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION.
20. Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, BE YE RECONCILED TO GOD.
21. For He (God the Father) HATH MADE HIM (God the Son) TO BE SIN FOR US, Who (Christ) knew no sin; that we might be made (If we will believe Paul’s Gospel: 1 Cor.15:1-4) THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.
Galatians 2:20-21 KJB:
20. I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST LIVETH IN ME (Col.1:27): and the life which I now live in the flesh I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
21. I do not frustrate the Grace of God: for IF Righteousness come by the LAW (by doing something), THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN.
~PAUL, the only masterbuilder & pattern sent by Jesus Christ Himself TO the “Body of Christ”.
WHY PAUL ONE MIGHT ASK?
OUR APOSTLE PAUL JUST SHARED ABOUT TWO DOZEN REASONS WHY!
Grace and Peace in Christ
For those who have ears to hear, let them hear.
All Glory be to God Almighty, in Christ Jesus. Amen and Amen.
