“For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.”
Romans 15:18-19 KJV
Paul says, “I will not be presumptuous to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me. For many non-Jewish people are coming into faith’s obedience by the power of the Spirit of God, which is displayed through mighty signs and amazing wonders, both in word and deed. Starting from Jerusalem I went from place to place as far as the distant Roman province of Illyricum, fully preaching the wonderful message of Christ”. Paul thoroughly preached the Gospel of Christ from Jerusalem to Illyricum, today’s Croatia in the western Balkan Peninsula. There was much evidence of Paul’s preaching that God was working through him, resulting in many non-Jewish people coming to faith in Jesus Christ. The signs and wonders were a part of the message, validating Paul’s apostolic mandate to evangelise and plant churches. Let’s believe that God can use us, however ordinary we are, to preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ validating it with signs, wonders and miracles. Thank You Jesus!
