As Paul points out the shortcomings of the the law to save in 1 Timothy 1:8-11 he moves his attentions to illustrate the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with 3 testimonies that speak to its power to save and give spiritual health. As we read or listen to stories we can quickly see ourselves in them. We can relate to the experiences of others and even by inspired by them. The testimonies that Paul shares offer hope in a God who pursues us and graciously changes us, as well as encouragement to hold tightly to the truth of the Gospel in belief and living so we won't find ourselves spiritually shipwrecked as many others have. (1 Timothy 1:12-20)
