This was no commitment of a mad man or a psychologically deranged or an emotionally shocked personality but from a zealous follower and disciple of the risen Christ. Paul mentioned the fact that we followers of Christ are not only privileged to believe but to suffer for His sake.

Thrice was I beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day l have been in the deep; in journeyings often, in perils of waters; in perils of robbers; in perils by mine own country men, in perils by heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness; in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness; and painfulness; in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

The Certainty Of Faith

How can I experience this reward -- the certainty of faith? Well, Paul gives the answer in Romans 8: Paul knew without doubt that God is the one in control of all things not just some things. Paul knew well the words of Jesus in Matthew Thy throne is established from of old. Therefore, Paul never had to fear who was at the helm of the ship in his life. What certainty this gives you and I to know without question: God is in control. Even when circumstances seem out of control, the truth remains: We must never doubt His wisdom, authority and power.

The key is accepting it by faith and living out the truth in our daily lives as Paul and his followers did.
