On this episode of Rightly Dividing, two thousand years later, the apostle Paul remains somewhat of a mysterious figure, and a man hated by Roman Catholics, Hebrew Roots and all the other cults, and forever taken out of context by the hyper-dispensationalists. There is no better picture of God's grace than picking the man who has been murdering your followers, Saul, and appoint him as their leader. Yet when you read the Bible, Paul is an open book and not mysterious at all. In fact, he's one of the 'plainest people' you'll ever meet. In our Bible study tonight, Paul lays out 9 characteristics, or qualifications if you will, of what life should look like if you're claiming to be a Christian. Let's see how you match up to that! This is Part #1 in a series.
