Which List Is Ours?
Jewish leader Saul was a fierce opponent of those newcomers who called themselves Christians. Jesus, then in heaven, spoked to Saul while he was headed to Damascus...to arrest more Christians. He gave him the name Paul, who wrote many letters we now call books, in the Bible. Obviously, Paul was highly intelligent, among other attributes.
Paul's notable letter to the Romans, where some Christians were living, includes words describing Christianity, and twice as many describing the world...all in chapter 1.
Our Faith Our World
Son of God foolish hearts wrath wickedness
gospel grace godless lies futility
faith love foolish images desire
peace prayer impurity created things
spiritual gifts mercy shameful lust indecent acts
encouragement perversion depraved minds
wisdom power of God greed envy
salvation for Jew and Gentile murder strife deceit
righteousness divine nature malice gossip slander
insolent arrogant boastful
disobedient senseless
faithless heartless
