Confidence in Christ

Paul was a unique person who God used to accomplish amazing things. The rapid spread of the gospel and the early church can largely be traced back to Paul and his ministry. Although he endured a lot, he never seemed to tire of serving Jesus and the church. Paul preached and wrote with authority and confidence, but where does this come from? What allowed the Apostle Paul to keep pushing forward with the mission God gave him? What drove him in the face of many obstacles? I believe the first half of Romans chapter 1 gives us some keys to the Apostle Paul and what made him tick. We can learn a lot from Paul's life as we seek to live a life of service to Jesus.
