In this message, Brother Alan Simmons continues the third part of the five-part series by reading 2 Timothy 4:1-8, a letter to Timothy written at the end of Paul's life. In this installment, we see how this man, who once persecuted those who spread the gospel of Jesus was now boldly sharing the gospel with everyone he met! Paul's conversion and excitement didn't start with his missionary journeys throughout the Mediterranean world, but began when he felt the burden of sin lifted from his heart and mind. We read throughout his epistles of the "new man" and "new creature" we become when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior and surrender our hearts to Him. Even as a much older man, Paul never forgot the excitement and joy that filled his heart when he received Jesus as his Lord and Savior. Paul understood the changes that Jesus brought into his life and he wanted to tell as many others as he could about how they, too, could experience that change.
