If there is any one person in the New Testament that can be defined by the word inspiring its the apostle Peter. Out of all the apostles Peter is the one that we hear the most about.

THEO-101-H1 Apostles’ Creed Paper The Apostles’ Creed: The influence and importance in Faith Communities Today I believe there is great value in faith communities reciting creeds today because they outline the basic beliefs of a religion.

Writings of the Apostle Paul populate the canon of the New Testament. The rawness and earnestness found within spring from the pages igniting a wonder in the reader of who Paul the Apostle was. Paul went to great lengths to spread the name of Jesus and one cheers anxiously from the sideline waiting to see if he ever gets the upper hand. Attacked, insulted, beaten, discredited, and victimized are just a few adjectives that could describe daily life for Paul. He becomes a model of devotion and fervor

Apostle Paul was not always a preacher of Christianity, Paul’s parents were Jewish as well as Roman citizens. Paul was to be a Rabbi though his future plans changed, on Paul’s journey of scorning Jesus, he had a vision in which Jesus asked why Paul scorns him, then commissions Paul to preach his message to the Gentiles who received mercy through Jewish unbelief.
