- Description
- Short Studies of St. Paul in Acts. Acts 9:15-16 describes Paul's God-purposed ministry to the Gentiles. Mears traces the faithfulness of Paul to God's mission despite opposition as demonstrated in Acts 14. Paul was guided by a basic principle of preaching the gospel to the local Jews first before the Gentiles on his ministry journeys. For Christian workers today, Mears warns against overlooking those who closely associate with the Church already. Paul, acting with common sense and an application of biblical principles, saw great success in his ministry. Opposition towards Paul was evidence of the working of the gospel. Paul's obedience to the gospel entailed a commitment to ministry in light of growing local opposition. Paul's ministry at Derbe and Lystra demonstrates the specific temptation to self-exaltation due to the power given to him by God. Because Paul measured his ministry by faithfulness to the gospel, he was able to continue against significant opposition.
