A Brief Look at St. Paul’s Life and Teachings

The Jewish Pharisees (Philippians 3: 5-6, Galatians 1: 14, 2 Corinthians 11: 22) I believed in all Jews

Go to Damascus Paul to meet the resurrected Christ (Acts 9: 1-19). He said that fellowship with the resurrected Jesus (Galatians 1: 11 - 12), not compliance with the law (Galatians 3: 1-5), is a necessary and sufficient condition to accept and participate in the promise of God's salvation I am convinced.

Paul believes that Christ came for all, and those who believe in Christ do not need to follow the law of the Jews (Galatians 2: 15-21-3: 1-5). This is an ongoing struggle with those who believe that the Jewish monument is necessary for everyone trying to enter the church (Galatians 5: 7-12).

In Jesus Christ, God acted to bring salvation to all who believe (Romans 1: 1-7). The full realization of this relief in the future has now begun. People can experience this salvation in their lives (Romans 8: 14-17)

Christians unite with Christ through faith (Romans 5: 1-2), waiting for the return of the Lord will rejoice in the gift of the Spirit of God and the work of salvation will be completed (1 Tessa 4: 13- 18).

Through faith and baptism (Romans 6: 3-5), Christians takes on the new identity in Christ. At the social level, Christians join the community of the church, preach the gospel, live in harmony with the Spirit of Christ (Galatians 3: 25-28). On a personal level, Christians understand that they are justified for the Lord and justified for Christ.

In Paul's idea, God's justice is the best atonement justice. God is loyal and fulfills the promises made to the covenant. God justifies himself. In other words, only God can reconcile humans through Christ (Romans 3: 21 - 31). People can not protect themselves, but they can only prove by uniting with Jesus Christ and accepting the grace that Christ won (Romans 5: 1-2). Justification can not be won by obeying the law but you can get rid of immoral life only by accepting the grace of God's reconciliation as a free gift.

The work of God's salvation took place in the cross of Jesus, the Jewish scandal, and Greek foolishness (1 Corinthians 1: 17-25). The idea that a person convicted may become a tool of redemption violates the fundamental principles of Jewish beliefs. They can not believe that the crossed person may be a symbol of God. This is ridiculous for the Greeks, as the idea that the transcendent God will participate in personnel is ridiculous, especially in the form of criminals put on the cross.

Then, looking at Sao Paulo, we found a very simple teaching on defense. Because Paul justifies. Because God shows his justice by restoring Christ from death and defending it with disbelief. Because God's purpose is to "prove your righteousness of the day today". He may be justice and justification of those who believe in Jesus "(Romans 3: 26). In other words, the righteous will suffer injustice, prove the righteousness of God, prove that he has "tolerance" to forgive sins and defend the iniquity. Furthermore, the contrast between justification of faith and justification of works is that the latter is an attempt to establish their own justice (Romans 10: 3), which is a major mistake of Jews in Rome 9-11 is.

Holy wish is rooted in the Bible. It is reflected in St. Augustine, St. Francis Death (Introduction to Pious Life), and the teachings of other great saints and scholars. St. John Paul II, like Catholic catechism, mentioned it with Christie Fidelis Lyche. Every state of life leads to holiness, the gift of God. . . . . More than a few people's privileges: Because it is a gift offered to all people without exception, it constitutes the unique character of each Christian. . . . . . In the state of their own living, everyone is called holy. . . . . . In our day-to-day work, we are loved, living together, and we are witnessing for Christians.
