The Apostle Paul… opposed the name of Jesus… and persecuted Christians and the church…
On his way to arrest Christians in Damascus… he not only saw a dazzling light from heaven… but Jesus spoke directly to Paul…
After that… his eyes were opened… he was given understanding… and he was transformed into someone who proclaims, “Jesus is the Son of God.”
… “I give understanding to the ignorant.”
… I used to… 😨
I looked down on Christians… and had prejudices against the church… 😢
I was determined never to become a Christian❗️
… and I went to church… but now this is the reality (lol)
… My wrong thoughts and prejudices… were dispelled… as I read the words of the Bible… I was given understanding… and I experienced the power of the Word of God… the power of the Holy Spirit… which made me certain that “Jesus is Lord❗️”
… The Word of God is… the life of God… and it transforms us into citizens of heaven.

When the door of God's word opens, God's light
shines into your heart❗️.
At that moment...your eternity will be determined by whether you obey or reject God's word.
...To be obedient...is to be humble.
Shalom 😄
