All The Difference

Paul describes his ministry, comforting and encouraging friends who care about him, protected him during the great riot, and who are no doubt dismayed at his imprisonment. Verses 7-9 are beautiful summations of what has been taught so far. Verses 10-13 contain some deeply comforting conclusions drawn from those previous truths – that we have the inside track, even past what angels (& demons) know about salvation; that God planned for us to be bold in our access to Him; that we do not lose heart in the face of troubles.
