Share the Truth in Love

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you learned that everything you were taught was a lie? I can only imagine how frightening it must have been when Saul discovered that, despite his religious zeal, he was misguided.
It’s one thing not to know the truth. It’s entirely another to realize you have a big problem with God. Saul was persecuting Jesus and opposing God! This was a problem far too large for him to fix.
What could have led to hopeless fear becomes a radical transformation. God shows the depths of his love. He calls a murderer like Saul to be one of his apostles and perhaps the greatest missionary of all time. Saul will use his story to show that if God could forgive someone like him, he can certainly forgive you too.
Saul’s story of transformation is not so different from our own. We, too, come into this world opposed to God (Romans 8:7). The problem is too great for us to fix, so Jesus did. Like Saul, we discover that on the other side of our fears is forgiveness through faith in Jesus.
