… and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to

Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least

4. Heaven and all that comes with it is _______________.

But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in

the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach

and so you believed. FIRST CORINTHIANS 15:10-11 ESV

I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he

judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, 13 though formerly I was a

blasphemer, persecutor, and insolent opponent. But I received mercy because I

deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save

sinners, of whom I am the foremost. FIRST TIMOTHY 1:12-15 ESV

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that

God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ROMANS 10:9 ESV
