Saul to Paul
Saul was a Pharisee who was convinced of the finality and perfection of the Mosaic law. He was accordingly a zealous persecutor of the infant church and had total determination to bring it to extinction. Traveling to Damascus he was suddenly confronted by the risen Lord and henceforth he became an equally zealous convinced christian.Henceforth, he became a man of great zeal for the very course he persecuted others. He had a burning sense of mission of his call as an apostle to take the gospel far and wide especially to the gentiles.
