To the Christian Church:
Grace and peace through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Appointed by God to bring the Gospel to the Jews and Gentiles, I, the Apostle Paul, write to reaffirm a core truth: salvation is by faith alone in Christ Jesus. In my 13 epistles (Romans to Philemon), I emphasize:
Authority of Apostleship: My calling as an Apostle comes directly from Christ (Acts 9:15-16).
Salvation by Faith Alone: Salvation is God’s gift, received solely through faith, not by human efforts.
Freedom from the Law: Believers are justified by faith, freed from the Law yet called to live holy lives.
Unity in Christ: In Him, all are one, Jew and Gentile alike.
Walking in the Spirit: A life in Christ is marked by the fruits of the Spirit.
As Peter acknowledged (2 Peter 3:15-16), my letters are divinely inspired Scripture. Stand firm in the faith, and guard against teachings that distort the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
In His service,
Apostle Paul
