The joy of his heart & the theme of his tongue

Paul preached a free-grace gospel. The sovereign, free, super-abounding grace of God, as revealed in the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ, was the joy of his heart and the theme of his tongue.

And against nothing did the holy zeal that burned in his bosom flame forth more vehemently than against any perversion or adulteration of this pure gospel.

It was with this gospel in his heart, and with this gospel in his mouth, that he went forth into different places, as he was led by the blessed Spirit, preaching Jesus Christ and salvation through His blood and righteousness.

God owned his testimony—the Holy Spirit accompanied the word with divine power—and many Gentile sinners, formerly worshippers of idols, and abandoned to every lust—were brought to repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ.
