1 Corinthians 15:9 - Additional Comments

As great as Paul was, he also had great humility. Yet, he also had the great burden of sins past. Even though we know we are forgiven, it is still extremely difficult to be released from the burden of those sins. Those sins still hurt people, and probably still were having affects. We need to be careful about dismissing the effects of sin. Yes, we are forgiven, and God has removed them from us, but the consequence and the pains still linger. Be afraid of sin. We are Christians, but sin still hurts.
