The messages of Paul the Apostle have inspired the thoughts and imaginations of Christians of all ages. His authoritative approach to justification and righteousness serve to capture the interest of believers today. It is appropriate that his examples of holiness be presented afresh to our generation.

After all, history repeats itself. The indulgences and iniquities rampant in Paul's day appear in churches today. False teachers overlook the sins of neglect. Liberal church leaders look for ways to enter into God's favor without being in his presence. These messages, taken from Paul's letters to the churches in Europe and Asia, show where Christians miss the mark in their spiritual growth. Dr. John Hargrove clearly lays out a foundation for incorporating spiritual truths into our lives, that we may someday grow into the image of Christ.
