7.11- One of the greatest writers of all time is someone who saw himself as the worst of people

 7.11-

One of the greatest writers of all time is someone who saw himself as the worst of people who had become followers of Jesus. He wrote almost half of the new testament. These words he wrote have been printed in billions for many, many decades. He thought that God had called him to this work because if God could use him, then God could use anyone. Humility is thinking more about God's power and thinking less about human power. Before God called him he might be described as an enemy of Christianity. He was on the way to kill Christians when he "saw the light". What an amazing change. When Jesus was dying on the cross he prayed that His Father would forgive the people killing Him because they didn't know what they were doing. That forgiving spirit of God is what has the power to turn darkness into light. I have read of many stories where a mother had a son killed by man and she forgive him and he was adopted into her own family. Can you believe it? I do. Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.

1 Timothy 1.

12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, 13 even though I was previously a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost. 16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost sinner Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those [h]who would believe in Him for eternal life. 17 Now to the King [i]eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory [j]forever and ever. Amen.
