Apostle Paul
What is the “Good News” of Jesus Christ? Part 3
The summons of this Gospel is for all persons in the world of every ethnicity, race and culture to “repent and believe” that Jesus is Lord and to live their lives accordingly.

When we encounter Paul in Athens, he is also following a story, a story that begins on a road to Damascus.
