Q2. (2 COR12 : 9; Acts 18: 9-10; 23: 11; 27: 24
Answers:
a} Paul the apostle no doubt was afraid, so he was assured by the Lord in a vision that he would be protected from harm, no matter the situation the Lord said" I the Lord is with thee , so fear not. This personal encouragement from the Lord would have relieved Paul of his fear.
b} The manner in which the ever loving Lord speaking to Paul would have assured him that he the Lord will be with him in person so he will not come to any harm from any man.
If we turn to Matt. 24 : 35 we will see the written Word as spoken by the Lord " Heaven and earth shall pass away but not his Word", and in Deut. 32: 46, 47 all believers knows that the Word of God is Spirit and Life. - (Praise God for Jesus}.
