Galatians 1:17 NKJV
“nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.”
Galatians 1:17 NKJV
Saul the persecutor of believers, rooted deep in legalism and the law had an encounter with a loving God.
A new man was born and he became Paul the advocator for Jesus. Now he is rooted in the grace of God and living by the Spirit of God.
When Paul received the revelation that Jesus Christ was Lord, he did not go to the apostles to seek approval.
Paul went to Arabia, a little place in a barren desert to know more about the one true God.
He spent around 3 years renewing his mind through the word of God and he began to see the life and grace of God.
The man who thought he knew what he was doing now saw all the wrong things he had done. He was changed by the love and power of God.
Paul knew the importance of knowing the truth and preaching it to all the people.
The New Testament is full of revelation that Paul received from God.
Revelation that turned his life around from a religious person to someone who has a relationship with the one true God.
We too need to change our minds and heart daily by renewing our hearts and minds according to the truth of God.
Behold His love and grace so that we too can reflect the same love and grace towards each other.
The love and grace of God liberate us and empower us to live a victorious life.
We too need to take time and see ourselves through the finished work of Christ so that we too can walk in the power, love, and glory of God.
Let us take heed and know our God each day, really seek Him, and know all that He has done for us.
Blessings
