“At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.” Acts 9:20
When the scales fell away from his eyes (Acts 9:18), Saul could see physically and spiritually. He now spreads the truth he had devoted his life to eradicate: Jesus is the Son of God.
God will soon also give him a new name (Paul) to identify his new life in Christ.
He may be given a new name, but Paul’s personality is still intact. His zeal, intellect, and resolve are now re-directed to the truth. His ability to speak, debate, and engage others is clear to everyone as Scripture records that he “…baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.” (Acts 9:22)
God had saved Paul. Now Paul will serve Him.
God, thank you for my salvation. Because you have saved me, I want to serve you.
Live Sent Action Point: Take inventory of your natural and spiritual gifts. How are you or how could you use these to serve the One who saved you?
