Abstract
"Ideally, the gospel should change people. In reality, a gap exists between ideal behavior and what churches actually practice. Paul wrote to try to bridge the gap between the ideal and the real, and that bridge is the theological foundation for all ethical instruction. The formation of Paul’s theology is grounded in his conversion on the Damascus Road: the forgiveness of sins and new life ―in Christ.‖ The formation of the moral virtues of character is the consequence of being ―in Christ."
