ALL IN! -When Saul called Paul got saved he was ALL IN! We can repent from anything. Paul killed Christians as a living young and old it was his day-to-day mission. Now we have to understand Paul didn't want to believe anything regarding the true messiah Jesus Christ. On the road to Damascus Saul was blinded for three days and was in deep thought. Jesus spoke to Saul (Paul) and said why are you persecuting me? During this time, he probably pondered the life of Jesus along with the Old Testament prophecies, which led him to firmly believe in God,'s truth. He recognized Jesus as Lord and Messiah. The 'three days' of blindness may have made him think specifically about Jesus' death, which would have helped him repent of his own sinful life. Saul (Paul) had been fighting against God, and the blindness was symbolic of the condition of his own heart. Saul (Paul) was spiritually blind when he "saw the light" on the road to Damascus. Being healed from his physical blindness highlights his spiritual awakening. For the first time, Saul (Paul) sees Jesus for what he really is, and his spiritual blindness is healed. Apostle Paul now a Christian was spreading the news of Jesus. God was also performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul as a servant of God because he was all in. -Saul picked himself up off the ground, but when he opened his eyes he was blind. So his companions led him by the hand to Damascus. He remained there blind for three days and did not eat or drink.- Acts 9:8-9 I have shown him a vision of a man named Ananias coming in and laying hands on him so he can see again.” -Acts 9:12 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him. -Acts 13:9 This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Sosthenes. -1 Corinthians 1:1
