2. Power to turn an unbeliever into a believer
Saul alone “heard a voice” (9:4; 22:9; cf. Rom. 10:17)
Saul heard the risen Lord, “I am Jesus” (9:5; cf. Matt. 17:5)
Saul asked, “What shall I do, Lord?” (9:6; 22:10; cf. Jas. 4:7)
How do we know Saul submitted? (cf. Jas. 2:17-18)
Went from “journeying” to being “led by the hand” (9:3,8; cf. Jer. 10:23)
“Arise and go into Damascus” (22:10). “I came into Damascus” (22:11).
Have you made the transition to submission? But, is that enough?

3. Power to turn a terrorist into a trembler
Saul “thought [he] must do many things contrary to the name of Jesus” (26:9)
So, he went about wreaking “havoc” on the church (Acts 8:3)
So, he went about “persecuting this Way to the death” (22:4)
How do we know Saul became contrite? (cf. Isa. 66:2)
For “three days,” he “neither ate nor drank” (9:9)
“For behold, he is praying” (9:11)
Have you made the transition to contrition? But, is that enough?

4. Power to turn a sinner into a saint
Saul identified himself as the “chief” of sinners (1 Tim. 1:15)
Ananias preached the gospel to Saul (Rom. 1:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-4)
Ananias spoke of “the Lord Jesus, who appeared on the road” (9:17)
How do we know Saul was saved?
Ananias said, “Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins” (22:16)
Saul “arose and was baptized” (9:18)
Jesus’ resurrection gives baptism power to save from sins (1 Pet. 3:21)
Have you been saved? But, is that enough?

5. Power to turn a persecutor into a preacher
Saul had been a “blasphemer” (1 Tim. 1:13)
Saul had been “breathing threats and murder” (9:1)
How do we know Saul was transformed?
“Immediately he preached Jesus…that He is the Son of God” (9:20)
Saul preached Jesus to Jews and Gentiles (26:19-23)
Saul gave up all he was and all he had for Christ (Phil. 3:4-11)
Have you been transformed? (Rom. 6:3-4)
