There are great things which we can learn from Apostle Paul's life and ministry. And he said, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ" (1 Cor. 11:1). This is to say that Christ Jesus is our Perfect Example. Therefore, if you are looking up to someone, and you failed, disobeyed, or backslid because the person failed, disobeyed, or backslid, then you have no excuse, because our Perfect Example, Whom the Word tells us to look unto, never failed nor disobeyed. Yet, Apostle Paul's conversion, zeal for God, passion for the Gospel, commitment to the ministry, suffering for Christ, despising of his life, and other things, will really challenge and encourage us.
