A Special Testimony “And last of all, as it were to one untimely born, He appeared to me also” (1 Corinthians 15:8). The resurrection power of Christ transformed Paul into a preacher of the gospel. Throughout history, reliable eyewitness testimony about a person or event has been one of the most accepted forms of courtroom evidence. The apostle Paul appeals to the eyewitness record as an important confirmation of the Resurrection’s reality. He cites the examples of Peter, the apostles (twice), 500 believers, and James (1 Cor. 15:5-7). And with today’s verse, Paul presents himself as a special eyewitness to the fact of Jesus’ resurrection. Paul’s case was unique. He was not among the original apostles, nor the 500 other believers, all of whom had opportunities to be with the Lord during His earthly ministry and/or see Him soon after He arose. Paul was not even a Christian during his early life and career but was rather the leader of those who persecuted the early church. Furthermore, Paul’s situation was different because Christ’s appearance to him was not only post-resurrection but post-ascension. The Lord’s dramatic manifestation to the apostle was probably several years after the forty-day period of His many other appearings. Paul genuinely viewed the timing of Jesus’ appearance to him as coming “to one untimely born.” We know he greatly rejoiced in his conversion, but if he had not seen the risen Savior then or some other time, Paul could not have become an apostle. In other words, by gracious, sovereign provision God chose Paul to be an apostle because “He [Jesus] appeared to me also.” The longtime opponent of the church was now like the Twelve—he had seen the risen Christ. The power of the Resurrection is always strong enough to change a life. It transformed Paul’s life in three major ways. First, he recognized his sin and saw how far removed external religion was from internal godliness. Second, his character was revolutionized. He went from a self-righteous hatred of the things of Christ to a self-giving love for the truth. Finally, Paul’s personal energy and motivation were completely redirected. He went from being a zealous opponent of Christians to one who fervently served and supported the church.

How can we make God happy with our life?

Before I knew theology, I have heard the Bible hundreds of times. Therefore, I’m having trouble trying to spot out where I stand. I believe God put things in order at a certain time because he ordained everything from the beginning to the end. I believe in the two covenants, the old covenant in a new covenant. And I believe that everybody who baptized in the name of the father son and the Holy Spirit or in another cases, in the name of Jesus, is one in the (covenant) pact, the new packed of Abraham. That’s why we called Sons of Abraham, sons of God. Therefore the spiritual Israel is together with the church one. And there is only one Pastor Jesus. So when we bless Israel, we’re blessing the spiritual Israel those who are of God. And not the ones that are bunch of depraved unbelievers. So I believe that we should not curse Israel due to the remnants that God always leaves in his people. Just like the time of the prophet Isaiah, that he thought he was the last prophet alive in the time of Jezabel, we are not to think that way. But to believe that God is sovereign and is able to keep a remnants inside of Israel. I believe in the sovereignty, of God, I am High Calvinist or (Classic Calvinist), believing and double predestination. Believing that God makes a life in order for the believer to believe in his Son. And those who he has ordained for destruction, he simply does not grant them grace, leaving them to their own destruction. I believe God does not make or create sin in them, so they could be lost. This is called hyper Calvinist, wish I am not. So what am I called? if I believe in high Calvinism or (Classic Calvinist) and in the new pact together with Israel! What am I called?
