WHY THE APOSTLE PAUL?
Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
BECAUSE HE WAS A CHOSEN VESSEL UNTO GOD!
THE APOSTLE PAUL was a CHOSEN VESSEL as spoken of in following scriptures:
(John 13:20 - Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me)
(Acts 9:15 - But the Lord said unto him, go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings and the children of Israel).
(Romans 11:13 - For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office).
(Ephesians 3:1-9 - For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: How that by revelation He made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ).
(2 Timothy 1:11 - Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles).
(Galatians 1:11-12 - But I certify you, Breathren, that the gospel that was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Thus it is in Paul's writings alone that we find the doctrine, position, walk and destiny of today's church, The Body Of Christ.
(Ephesians 1:13 - In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.)
NOTE: The above scripture, telling you that AFTER you have BELIEVED, you are then SEALED with the Holy Spirit of promise.....
***THIS MEANS YOU CAN NOT LOSE YOUR SALVATION, BECAUSE YOU ARE SEALED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE.*** This is RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH (2 different dispensations, 2 different gospels - ONE given to the "LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL" (Matthew 15:24 - But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel) AND the SECOND one given to the GENTILES (see ALL the scriptures above on PAUL the Apostle, who was sent to the Gentiles by Jesus Christ) --- So if there are 2 different dispensations, 2 different gospels, that must mean that we MUST RIGHLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH to understand if the scripture is intended to the GENTILES or if it is intended to THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL -- This is why the following scripture... (2 Timothy 2:15 - STUDY, to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth).
