MSITN VITAL DOCTRINES – SALVATION

“Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord’s brother. (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie). Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ. But they were hearing only, ‘He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.’ And they glorified God in me.”

Galatians 1:18-24

经文:加拉太书 1

“过了三年才上耶路撒冷去见矶法,和他同住了十五天。 至于别的使徒,除了主的兄弟雅各,我都没有看见。 我写给你们的不是谎话,这是我在神面前说的。 以后我到了叙利亚和基利家境内。 那时,犹太信基督的各教会都没有见过我的面, 不过听说“那从前逼迫我们的,现在传扬他原先所残害的真道”, 他们就为我的缘故,归荣耀给神。”
