Bible Question (short): How was Paul faithful? |
Question (full): Can someone explain to me how it is that God considered Paul faithful. He didn't exactly have a good track record prior to his conversion, yet God considered him faithful enough to entrust to him a huge and important task. Is this because God didn't see the past, he saw the future potiential? Or does this verse refer to a time after his conversion when he'd proved himself faithful. I don't get it, however it is certainly encouraging that if God could use Paul with his past then he must be able to do the same for all of us! |
