INTRODUCTION: Acts 9

1. The conversion of Saul is given a great deal of space in the New Testament. This speaks to its importance.

1) It shows us what conversion really means. How far do I go?

2) It shows us that God is no respecter of persons in conversion. An apostle had to trust and obey just like you.

3) It shows us that the proper response when one had sinned gravely is submission and not bemoaning that one has sinned too greatly to be saved.

4) It introduces us to the man through whom we would be given so much of the New Testament.

2. This cannot be a study of the life of Paul but must be limited to a study of the conversion of Saul.
