Why was Paul
able to make such a confident statement about his future? Here was a man who
had persecuted the church of GOD in the past.
Speaking of
him under his old name Saul of Tarsus,
the book of Acts says as of Saul,he made havoc of the church ,entering every
house and dragging off men and women, committing them to prisons[Acts 8;3]. He
carried letters from the high priest to the synagogues of Damascus so that he
could bring Christians bound to Jerusalem.
But in Acts we read of his dramas tic
conversion on the road of Damascus. He was an intelligent man, educated under
the greatest teacher of his time with the highest sense of integrity, but the
lovely Jesus transformed and saved him into the person we know today as
"Paul".
Paul stood
firm after receiving a new life in Jesus, he gained ever lasting hope which
pushed him to serve the eternal GOD.
As Paul
seemed to have committed many sins, Jesus forgave and transformed his early
life deeds ; So don’t loose hope even though you are overcome by temptations,
its not too late to repent because for that reason he beard the shame and he
was crucified on the cross for our sins. Jesus is our mediator and a savior
forever.
“Just
confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God
raised him from the dead, and then you will be saved [Romans 10:9]”
