The Christian And His Behavior

Let us muse again from the principles to live by when shut up by God to unwelcome situations.In 3:4-6 I find Paul’s prior behavior. I see his natural connection in the phrase circumcised the eight day of the stock of Israel. I see his tribal connection in the phrase, of the tribe of Benjamin. I see his position of connection in the phrase Hebrew of the Hebrews.I see his religious connection in the word Pharisee. A Pharisee was of the highest religious order. He was blameless according to the law. This was the law and all it 100s of sub points. In verse six we find he hated Christians. He thought himself the chief of saints. For Paul to leave all this will take a sovereign act of God’s grace. Our God is certainly up to the task.
