The Apostle Paul Teachings In Summary

By George Turner


When Christ was in the world, many people were against him, and his teachings and they ended up persecuting him in the long run. However, he left disciples and apostles to carry out his work. Paul was one of them, but before he acknowledged Christ, he was a widely known persecutor of the Christian faith. The article discusses some of the apostle Paul teachings after he was reformed.

First, he declared in the book of Romans that he was not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. This should be a reminder to us that we should deny Christ in front of men. Rather, we should be proud that he has chosen us to carry out his duties on earth and spread his good news throughout all the nations. He further goes to say that he was not taught the gospel, but it was revealed to him by Christ.

He teaches that acknowledging Christ as the son of God and savior of mankind is the only way that people will be able to go to heaven. Christ was sent to earth to save the sins of humanity and tell people what God has stored for them up in heaven. We should, therefore, have one faith, believe in one God and in one baptism.

Another lesson, is that we are not just another one of Gods creation and we were created for a purpose. He did not just create us to worship Him but to be His children too. This is confirmed when we learn that we are heirs together with Christ. We will get to inherit the kingdom and live in it together for all eternity.

One of the most important teachings is that about the resurrection. This is by far one of the greatest miracles to have been performed on the earth. He teaches that baptism is a simple of dying with Christ on the cross and resurrecting with him. It is also a symbol of washing your sins a way and coming back up a new person.

In first Corinthians, he teaches about the unity of faith. This means that the gospel should be a way of bringing together because they have a common belief system. When people come together in faith, they are able to lift each other and support each other, especially through prayer. This is because where several faithful are gathered, miracles can happen.

Anyone who preaches a religion other than that of Christ brings confusion. It shows that they do not serve the same God as the rest of us. Paul states that our God is a God of peace and not confusion and therefore any contradictory teachings are not of our faith. We should make sure that the people who preach to us are actually teaching the right thing and not bringing confusion.

He insisted that Christians fight the good fight of faith. This is not a physical fight but rather a spiritual one. This means fighting regarding prayer to keep all away everything that may attack you spiritually.
