Paul was "separated to the gospel" the word separated is "pharisee". Pharisees were a sect of Jewish religionists who focused on what they would try not to do. Paul used to be separated by focusing on things not to do. Now he is "phariseed" to the gospel. Focusing on your sin will never free you from it. Focusing on something more enticing than sin--namely, Jesus will free you.

What are the evidences of God's grace in your life? If you are married this makes for great conversation and great thoughts before bed. If you are single this makes for great conversation with yourself.
