Paul often encouraged the churches and believers. During tough times he trusted in Jesus. Philippians 1:29 says, “For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;” Paul rejoiced much in his sufferings and when things continued to challenge his faith. He prepared a harvest for the Lord. There was nothing that stopped Paul’s obedience to God. When Paul was in jail he wrote many letters encouraging believers. Paul was a true warrior for God who helped bring the message of God’s grace to the gentiles. 1 Timothy 2:4 says, “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” That teaches us that Jesus doesn’t want even one person to go to hell. God’s desire is that everyone be saved. Praise God for His love and grace. Amen
