A venture into the life of PAUL the Apostle

Who is PAUL  the Apostle?

Galatians,..... one of the books written by him .This particular book of Galatians  was written by apostle paul to the "church in Galatia";his aim  is to clarify that the  Moses's law under   the OT(old testament) has nothing to do with our salvation.Thus our  salvation is obtain by GOD's grace in christ under  the NT (new testament).

Let me venture a little  bit  into  the life  of paul.He was known as the former persecutor, murderer and antichrist of his time.He witness  to the murder  of a  certain  disciple called  stephen acts7:58,known then as  Saul he was the leader of the church's first intense  and severe persecution" men and women were draged out from their houses put in prison,beaten and put to death Acts8:1-3 "
Undoutedly this paul is of jewish youth,born and raise with the law of Moses;he has devotion, passion for the law  of his fathers.He couldn't accept any new teaching apart from that which was given to his forfathers in  the desert.He was later converted  to  to a christian  on his way to Damascus, on a mission to get a letter of permit  from the high priest that  would allow him to arrest any of the jew following the new way of christ.
But you know what  he was stop by a spirit  Acts9:1-5.GOD  use him mightly to write 13 of the new testament books,called  the Epistles of Apostle  Paul.
