\nPaul’s Revelation
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Galatians 1: 11-12<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The apostle Paul met the Lord on the Damascus road in the days of his persecution of the Church. That vision brought a complete change in him in every way.<\/p>\n

Almost immediately, Paul began to preach Christ as the Son of God. There were other revelations of Jesus that he had in his early Christian life which shaped his Christian character and gave him the message that he would afterward call, \u201cmy gospel.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Galatians 1:11\u201312, Paul declared he neither received the gospel from man nor was he taught it, but he said it came by the revelation of Jesus Christ. In other words, the gospel was a revelation of the Person of Jesus Christ. It was a revelation of His character and perfections as the Divine Son of God. Then, the gospel is not merely a set of teachings or doctrines, but it is what is seen in the Person of Jesus.<\/p>\n

In Romans 1:16, Paul declared that the gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Then, the gospel in its outworking is the Divine operation of God\u2019s character perfections in the lives of men who believe.<\/p>\n

Not only was Jesus revealed to<\/em> Paul, but He was also revealed in<\/em> him. That is, revelation of Jesus brought impartation of Him into Paul\u2019s heart and life. What he received by revelation stayed with him and became part of him. Christ was in him the Hope of glory!<\/p>\n

This impartation of Christ was to enable Paul to preach to the Gentiles (Ephesians 3:8). And with Paul\u2019s preaching, there was imparted to the hearers the very life, virtues, and perfections that he had received when Christ was revealed in him.<\/p>\n
