Other than the Lord Jesus Christ, the most divinely gifted and inspired evangelist in the first century was the Apostle Paul. As the most prolific writer of the New Testament, there is much that we can learn from his example and teachings, especially in dealing with opponents of the Gospel. In the first century, the greatest opposition to the spread of the Gospel came from the corrupted religion of Judaism. Today, the Gospel’s greatest opposition is the deceptively false religion of Roman Catholicism. With its great power, wealth, control and influence, many evangelicals are reluctant to expose it as an enemy of Christ and His Gospel. In both corrupted religions, the authority of God’s word runs smack into the unbending traditions of men. With this in mind, let us look at the Apostle Paul’s motivation and ministry and how he contended for the faith....

....Since all Christians have been entrusted with the Gospel, let us be exhorted by the words of Paul: "We are to speak, not as pleasing men but God who examines our hearts (1 Thes. 2:4). The true Gospel will disturb those who hear it for it speaks of both heaven and hell. It informs sinners of the righteousness of God and His demand for the payment of an infinite debt caused by sin. With this in mind, our primary motivation must always be to glorify God by accurately reflecting the heart of His revelation to mankind.
