Only One Paul

Text: Rom.1:1: Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

Acts. 9:1: And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

 2And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.



 3And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:



 4And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?



 5And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.



 6And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.



 7And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.



 8And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

Phil. 1:21: For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Gal.1:1: Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)

and...

:11: But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

 12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus



Christ.

Acts 9:10: And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

 11And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,



 12And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.



 13Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:



 14And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.



 15But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:



chosen (defined):

1. divine selection

The means I have chosen

My chosen instrument

 16For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.



(Jesus said): I, myself will show him.



Gal. 1:15:But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,



 16To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:



 17Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.



 18Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.



 19But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.



Rom. 1:16: For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

I Corth 15:8: And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.



 9For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.



 10But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.



Rom. 2:16: In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.



Rev. 20:11: And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

 12And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Only One Gospel

Gal.1:6:I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
 7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
 8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
 9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
