Paul was living life the way he thought God wanted him to live. He was a diligent Pharisee, he studied under the best rabbi, and he was going places. Then everything changed when Paul met Jesus on the road to Damascus. This meeting forever changed Paul, but Paul had to cooperate with the heavenly vision - he had to repent and submit to the spirit's leading over time. Paul is an example to us of how no one is too far gone to feel the love of Jesus.
