The Gospel is Revealed
galatians 1:11
Galatians 1:11–12 CSB
11 For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel preached by me is not of human origin. 12 For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
The Gospel Transforms
Paul experienced the grace of God through a relationship with Jesus
Paul recieved a new identity he went from religious pharisee to a gospel preacher.
When Jesus reveals Himself we are transformed:
We go from sinner to saint.
We are no longer who we once were but we receive a new purpose…to proclaim the truth of who Jesus is.
