Paul Did A "180" To Follow Jesus

Before Saul became the Apostle Paul, who wrote half of the New Testament, he was a wicked religious man who persecuted, imprisoned, and killed Christians.

After a supernatural encounter with Jesus, Paul’s life radically transformed. Jesus changed his heart and took Paul from wanting to kill Christians to using him to help save thousands from their sins.

Paul forsook everything to follow Jesus after becoming a born-again Christian. He immersed himself in the disciples' teaching and preached the gospel fearlessly. The Holy Spirit even used him to perform miracles like raising the dead, healing the sick, and casting out demons. But it only happened because Paul surrendered his life to Jesus and put Him first above everything.

Paul sets a powerful example of the impact we can have on others when we give Jesus the preeminence in our lives. It does not take us raising the dead or preaching to thousands to let our light shine in a dark world. It only takes our faithfulness to Jesus and putting Him first for Him to accomplish what He desires in and through our lives.
