The Road to Damascus: Conversion To Christ (Scripture Reading: Acts 9:1-30)
Greetings everyone,
I apologize for not updating the Bible study. Please keep my family in your prayers, and thank you for your patience and faithfulness to God’s Word.
This month, we are reading from Acts 9:20-30. In the scripture reading, Paul is preaching about Christ being the Son of God. As we read earlier in this study, Paul did not believe that Jesus was the Son of God. In Acts 8:1-3, we learned that Paul was going everywhere, destroying the church and dragging men and women out of their homes to throw them into prison. One thing that we know about Jesus is that He saves! Despite all that Paul has done, Jesus used him. In Acts 9:21, the people of Damascus were probably nervous about seeing Paul, knowing his history towards believers. However, if you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will know if that person is of God (1 John 4:1). Paul's faith in the Lord increased, even when his life was in danger. He knew that he had a purpose: to spread the Word of God (Acts 9:23-30). Reading these scriptures taught us that God can use anyone regardless of their background. Everyone has a role and a job to do for the Lord. Your life experiences are a testimony of God’s greatness. God is a healer, and He restores. I pray that this brief journey on the road to Damascus encourages you to see that God is not done with you yet. May God bless you and your family always, and take care.
