Paul’s words are captivating and filled with hope. In a letter Paul wrote to the new believers living in ancient Rome, his words show his heart for the concern and love of others, rooted in his unyielding love for his Savior, Jesus Christ. Paul was poetic, educated, and unwavering in his beliefs despite the unbearable hardships he faced through a complete turnaround from his previous life. Paul had been a murderer of Christians.

Paul was the most prolific New Testament writer and wrote most of the New Testament books outside of the Gospels. He traveled over 10,000 miles on land and sea during his famous missionary journeys throughout the Roman world, Syria, Turkey, and Greece. His travels and words have some of the most significant positive impacts on our world today, all driven by a single mission – to offer the hope and love of Jesus Christ, the one whom he had met on that fateful road to Damascus. His words echo what he saw that day in Jesus Christ, and that same renewed hope and love is still available to us today.
