A paternity test…

1. When do we want our approval? (1-5)

– A true child of Paul…cares for Jesus’ ultimate verdict on his heart, not that of others now.

2. What do we think of as success? (6-18)

– A true child of Paul… boasts in nothing more or less than the message Paul was trusted with (6-7).

– A true child of Paul… is willing to “lose” now, knowing that everything they have, they received (8-13).

3. Where do we look for our examples? (14-21)
