Pastor Chris White says to all of you: HELLO MY FRIENDS. May the Lord bless you today.
HOLA MIS AMIGOS. Que el Señor los bendiga.
The man
known to us as the apostle Paul began life as Saul of Tarsus (Acts 9:11). The account of his radical
conversion to Christ is found in several places in the New Testament: Acts 9:1–19; 22:3–13; 26:12–18; and 1 Corinthians 15:9. From the moment he was
saved, he began preaching about Jesus (Acts 9:20–21). Over the next several years,
Paul traveled extensively, planting churches wherever he went. When not with
those churches, he still carried the responsibility for them in his heart, like
a father for his children (1 Corinthians 4:14; 1 Thessalonians 2:11). Much of the New
Testament is made up of his letters to some of those churches. We know for
certain that Paul wrote at least thirteen letters that are included in the New
Testament. Scholars have debated whether or not Hebrews was written by Paul; if
Paul wrote Hebrews, that would make his total contribution to the Bible
fourteen books.
The following is a breakdown of the letters Paul wrote and the possible
timeframes in which he wrote them:
Galatians (AD 47)
1 and 2 Thessalonians (AD 49—51)
1 and 2 Corinthians and Romans (AD 52—56)
Ephesians, Philemon, Colossians, and Philippians (AD 60—62, during Paul’s first
Roman imprisonment)
1 Timothy and Titus (AD 62)
2 Timothy (AD 63—64, during Paul’s second Roman imprisonment)
Although Paul penned or dictated these letters, he makes it clear that he is
speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The other apostles, as well
as the early church, accepted these letters as words from God (2 Peter 1:20–21; 3:15–16). Jesus Himself told Paul that he was
sending him as a witness of all God would teach him (Acts 26:16–18). Therefore, we can rest assured
that Paul’s words to the churches are inspired by the Holy Spirit and relevant
for us today.
