Acts 9:1-19 | God Can Save Anyone. Anyone!نموونە

God’s plan was clear: the gospel message of Jesus’s kingdom would go to the ends of the earth. In the first eight chapters of Acts, the only people who accepted Jesus had been Jews and Samaritans. Acts takes an unprecedented change in direction in chapter 10 when the gospel message is received by Gentiles.

Chapter 9 is the hinge. Here, God chooses Saul of Tarsus to be the key person through whom Christ’s gospel would come to the Gentiles. There’s only one problem: Saul was persecuting Jesus' followers with murderous threats and arresting anyone who accepted Jesus.

One of the most amazing conversion stories in the Bible is when Jesus appears directly to Saul. Jesus transforms him into the chief preacher of the gospel message to the Gentiles. Today, read the story of how Jesus confronts him and how his life begins to change.
