The Apostle Paul lived his life and ministry knowing he had been miraculously saved by Christ. Paul had daily memories of living as the Pharisee people called “Saul of Tarsus.” He had done terrible things in God’s name. Later, God did amazing things through a man who understood the transformational power of complete forgiveness. 

Saul of Tarsus was led by misguided passions that brought harm to God’s children. When he became the Apostle Paul, his redeemed life accomplished more than he could ever have imagined. 

Saul of Tarsus was an educated, devout Pharisee who knew a great deal about God. The Apostle Paul was a humble, redeemed man who actually knew God. He had met him on the road to Damascus. Paul loved God as one who had been saved by Jesus Christ.

He described Jesus, the God he knew, saying:

Jesus is the King of the ages. He rules the world yet has offered to rule our lives. Jesus is immortal. He rose from his grave, proving we can rise from our graves as well. Jesus is invisible. Jesus is love (1 John 4:8). Like love, he is invisible but real, tangible, and powerful. Jesus is the only God. He is God and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).Paul said that Jesus deserved to be honored and glorified forever and ever, amen. The word amen means “so be it.” When we think of Jesus today, we should think of Paul’s description. The Jesus Paul knew and met on the road to Damascus is the same Jesus we worship today. 

When Jesus saved your soul, you were born again. He has “raised you” to walk in a new life. The key is knowing Jesus as Paul knew him. He is our immortal, invisible King. End this day by offering your King, your Lord and Savior, your highest honor and praise. 

Knowing God is the beginning of wisdom. Know that Jehovah God is the only God.
