Grace Conquers Our Past – 1 Timothy chapter 1, verses 12-20
Just like the apostle Paul we all have a past life, but God’s grace is better than our past.
13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
