In his writings, Paul acknowledged his vulnerability to passive death as a mortal, that at any moment he might die or come near death. He gave us some of the most mournful and vitriolic words about how death is God’s and our enemy. But he also spoke openly about choosing death: “My aim is to know him . . . to be like him in his death.” This study seeks to show that Paul embraced death as a follower and imitator of Christ because the benefits of a good death supersede attempts at self-preservation. For him, embracing death is gain because it is honorable, because it reflects ultimate obedience to God, and because it is the reasonable response for those who understand that only Jesus’ death provides atonement.  aPaul, -- the Apostle, Saint4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/1/6/_493099964_140.jpgyCover Image  a211001 TKH  c6389d6389  00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-6389v0.00yBK
