God Still Speaks

The conversion of Saul is one of the most powerful testimonies of Gods power to transform a life. Saul was responsible for sending Christian people to prison and persecuting them. He was feared by the followers of Christ and did what he did from a zealous religous position. We see him here having an encounter with Christ that completely changed his life. He was blinded, hears Jesus speak to him, is healed from his blindness, water baptized and starts to preach in a very short period of time. I wonder what kind of response he would get in modern day christianity if this were to happen to him today? He understands immediately what the plan, purpose and call of God is for his life and he sets out to fulfill it. We can see from this that there is no life so bad and lost that Christ cannot completely transform. We can see immediate and obvious fruit of repentance and the grace of God working in a life. Don't judge a book by its cover, look inside to see the signs of a new creation in Christ.
