13) For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14) And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.James 1:13-14 (KJV)
As we continue our podcast series Going through Galatians we look at how Paul speaks to his testimony as a defense for his faith and authority. Paul shows that God authors our testimonies.
God’s authorship of our salvation is the reason for our sanctification and an explanation for our zeal.
Testimonies create captive audiences and they raise questions. Therefore, we must present our testimony to others as something that only God could do.
In the end, our testimony is all for God’s glory.
