Joshua Boyd
God puts Godly people in your life, not to have a “friend” but to have a co-worker in the kingdom. They may encourage you, bless you, pray with you, and work with you. Not everyone will be in your life forever. Not everyone will connect with you the same way. But cherish those connections while you have them.
In other words, God’s message would have not gotten out to all the Gentiles without these people. Yes, the Holy Spirit gave the words to Paul to write. Without the others in this list, Paul would not have had the strength, or been alive at all to write the words.
