Your Past Does Not Get The Final Word

ScriptureLinks
About this episode
Yesterday, we looked at how Paul received the Gospel—not from men, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Today, Paul continues his story.

In Galatians 1:18–24, Paul explains what happened after his conversion. We also look at Acts 9, where Paul begins preaching Christ, faces opposition, and eventually has to escape for his life.

Paul’s story is a powerful reminder that a changed life doesn’t always happen overnight, and people don’t always immediately believe that you’ve changed. But God can take the person you were and use that very story to demonstrate His grace.

Your past may explain where you’ve been, but it doesn’t have to determine where you’re going.
