Acts 9
Sauls transformation or salvation was so remarkable that we see instant change in his life. One thing jumps out at me in vs 20, "Saul stayed with the beleivers for a few days and (vs20) immediatley began preaching that about Jesus." He understood the importance of "christian fellowship." He must of been like a sponge soaking in everything he could from his new friends. Learning to pray, learning to be led by the Spirit, learning all about this new life style. He had no problem cutting off his past, leaving old friends and following Jesus. Later on in the chapter he continued to seek beleiver out but because of fear many thought that it was a scam to discover them and throw them into prison. The Apostles accepted him, they saw the real deal, the life change that repentance brought to his life. Interesting to note that there was peace through out the region after Sauls conversion and the beleivers walked in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
