Faith in God's Promises Paul had faith in God's promise that he would stand trial before Caesar. This assurance can encourage believers to hold onto God's promises in their lives. Leadership in Crisis Paul exemplifies godly leadership by providing hope and direction. Christians are called to be leaders who point others to God during difficult times.
