The Grace of Christ be with you!
The conversion of Paul from one who persecuted those who believed in Christ to one who suffered persecution because he himself believed in Christ led to many changes in his life including:
-
From one who was blind to Christ’s identity as God’s Son to one who was granted the vision of the Risen Christ (Which manifested his temporary physical blindness after his vision).
-
From one who had obtained letters that gave him permission to persecute Christians to one who wrote letters to support and encourage churches.
-
From the promotion of violence to suppress the impure to faith in preaching the cross to purify.
From the use of the law as tool to punish impurity to use of the law as tool to build community.
-
From one who practiced unfettered zeal to zeal tempered by humility.
-
From certainty in self bolstered by following the law to confidence in Christ.
-
From the cross as a stumbling block to seeing the cross as the heart of faith in Christ.
-
From a defender of the truth to a follower of the truth, Jesus Christ, which defended him.
-
From one who sought to persecute sinners to one who prayed, in mercy, for their conversion.
