I feel that the Lord is trying to use Paul to let people know that He is right beside us and though it is His desire to see us all saved,He will not force Himself on us.God is the perfect gentleman.He will not make us live for Him,we have to love Him because of who He is . Not Some idol,that can neither save nor teach.God is right here if we want Him.He don 't need us , We need Him.
