Paul’s Perseverance in Persecution

We continue our quest of examining those who have gone on before us and have set the example of perseverance and endurance in the face of overwhelming trials and persecutions.  As we turn our attention to the New Testament examples we will begin with the Apostle Paul.  He was a Christian man who endured much as the hands of evil people yet with great courage, resolve and character endured faithfully following in the example of Christ!  Once again we will come to understand that it is only the strong man or woman of character that will stand firm during the great trials and persecutions ahead.  We will also learn more about the intensity and persecutions that Paul endured in his faithful and sincere service to Christ and His church in preaching and teaching the gospel of glory!  Finally, we will see how Christ rescued him out of every trial until Paul had accomplished all that Christ had prepared for him to do.  We shall also see how we can work along side the Lord to help those in the body of Christ who are undergoing persecution for His name’s sake.
