Just preaching
So Tuesday I have a small Bible study group and we have been going through Acts. Tonight was chapter 21 & 22. It recounts Paul's conversion to Christ from an earlier chapter. A brief summary for those that don't know it. Paul or Saul as he was first known was a Jew among Jews, very learned and educated. And he hated the early Christians and persecuted them. He stood by and held coats for those who stoned Stephen to death. He was on the road to Damascus to get an order to take care of those pesky Christians when Christ appeared to him. The rest is history, he came to Christ, became Paul and went on to write alot of the NT and preached salvation to both Jews and Gentiles. All this is in the book of Acts which tells of the early church. So for those of you who feel like you have done things in your life that can't be forgiven or question how can God use you, look at Paul and what he did yet God used him in a mighty way. Christ died on the cross for all sins, each and every one. There is nothing you can do that His finished work on the cross can't take care of. So come the cross, believe and know you are forgiven through Jesus Christ and you will have eternal life through that belief. There is such awesome freedom in that. I pray for those who are not saved, that you will be. I
