God used Paul’s past for his ministry in many different ways. One way he used Paul’s past was that Paul was a Pharisee. Which meant he had a knowledge of scripture. When he went to other parts of the world he knew scripture and he probably had some memorized. Another way God used Paul’s past was that Paul knew many languages. He knew them because he was very educated. His family could afford a good tutor. When he traveled to share God’s word and people spoke different languages he could easily communicate with them. I think God can use me in many different ways like my love for helping other people. When people are having trouble with something in school or sports I love to go and help them. If people are having trouble with their faith I would love to help people or be there to support them through any challenging times.
