Paul Was Relentless
Galatians 1:13-14 (KJB) For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

The Old Nature is Crucified
Galatians 5:24 (KJB) And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Here is a key verse in living the Christian life. Those who genuinely belong to Christ have died to self and the calling of the flesh. Anotherwards what they want and desire in their life is set aside to serve and savor God and to follow His will for their life.

God Is Forgotten Days Without Number

Serving God is Never Easy but Do It Anyways
1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJB) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
