Document summary
After his conversion, Paul makes the Crucified Christ the center of his life and ministry, recognizing the Cross as God’s free gift of salvation and the supreme expression of divine love for every person. Even amid conflicts within the Church and criticism from outside, he rejects worldly wisdom and continues to preach the apparent folly of the Cross as the true power of God.
