?Paul'* Contribution to Chrlatlaalty.
Paul's asm* stand* second to nans
la the nana la of history. Hie story at
His life la of perennial Interest.
I. His Birth. (v. S cf. Phil. 8:1T),
He was born in Tarsus of par* He
brew stock. He copld with legitimate
pride boast of godly ancestry. It Is
highly important that each generation
should so lire that no hanriloegs be
placed upon their children.
II. His Home Training. (3:0).
His parents were pious people and
carefully reared htm according to Jew
ish standards. Moat religions leaders
spring out of such homes; for example,
Moses, Samuel, Timothy. Stern prin
ciples of integrity were inculcate! in
him thus giving him strength of char
acter to Impress the world. He was
strongly attached to the peculiarities
at the Jewish religion. The heroes
which molded his life were such men
as Joseph, Moses, David, Isaiah lutes d
of Achilles, Hercules and UlySsee.
III. His Education. (Acts 3:8).
1?His Patriotism. He was brought
up to love his nation. He proudly af
firmed. MI am a Jew." Paul was a
nationalist of the true type. Children
should he taught to love their nation.
3?A Love for the Bible. The Scrip
tures were to him the very Ward of
God. What was found written therein
was the final word for Him. Laos ef
love for the Bible and implicit faith
therein la a tragedy.
8?Zealous for God. (Acts ISA).
The word seaktas literally means To
bolL" Zeal without knowledge la bet
ter than no seal at all.
4?Conscientious. HI* >S|SUisi aim
was to possess a conscience void of
offense. Conformity to the dictates of
conscience Is demanded. It is the lew
of life for every men that because of
the blight of aln the conscience needs,
to be taught by God?* Word.
?-n? una ? Trade, kjvery Jowion
boy, regardless of his father's wealth,
was taught a trade, It was a saying
among them that, "Ha Who Allied to
teach his son a trade, taught him to
steal." This would be a good plan in
our modern days.
IV. Hie Conversion. (Acts 22.0-10).
1?On the Way to Damascus, (v. 6),
He was the enemy of Christ and was
on bis way to Damascus authorized to
br\ng bound such Christians as might
be found to Jerusalem to be punished.
While on this Journey he had time tor
reflection and conscience began to
work.
2?A Light from Heaven. <w. 8-8).
As this light burned through the eky
over him, he fan to tho ground humil
iated. Accompanying tho light was a
voice saying. "Saul, why persocuteat
thou met" Upon Inquiry aa to who
was speaking, the Lord declared that
it was JeraSyf Nazareth whom ho waa
persecuting.
S?An Hottest Inquiry, (v. 10). He
was willing to do -wbafftho Lord willed,
so he was instructed to go to Damascus
whore taller tight would be given.
V. His Estimate of' Christ (PhD.
8:7-8). *m! ' *
liAmrhe came to know Christ, ho
iMi^^sTl but loos In comparison with
mm. Ho ghw Christ so the supplier of
righteousness. He who has Christ and
His righteousness has everything worth
while.
VI. Hie Transcendent Aim. (PhlL
8:10-14). I.
1?His aim was to know tho power
of Christ's resurrection, even that ho
might bo made conformable to His
death and have fellowship in His suf
ferings.
2?Ho desired to attain onto tho
resurrection of tho dead. This refers;
to tho first resurrection in which tho
believers shall come forth from among
the wicked deed.
8?-He preaoed toward the math. He
did not count that ho Md yet attained.
He depredated hie present attain
ments, perceived the dignity of his
calling and prisnsfl forward with all
bis strength in order that he might win
die prise. The conditions which de
termine growth ore first, a decided dls
satisfaction with present attainments;
second, perception of the height of
truth, and third, a resolute determina
tion to attain at whatever cost ''
