God is in the habit of transforming lives. Perhaps the greatest known example of this awesome work is the life of Saul of Tarsus, whom we know as the Apostle Paul. His life was exemplified by zealous defense of Judaism, even to the point of hunting down followers of the Way, putting them in prison, and holding the garments of those who stoned the first Christian martyr, Stephen. While he was on his way to Damascus to further his persecution, the Lord apprehended him with blinding light from heaven. Paul’s Damascus road experience became the fulcrum of his life. Prior to it, he was a blasphemer and a violent man (1 Timothy 1:13). Afterward, he became the foremost of all the apostles and missionaries of the early church. His journeys and letters to the various gathered bodies of Christ in the Roman world not only formed the theology of the first believers, but also of those in every century since.
See the book of Acts from chapter 7 onward, as well as Paul epistles, for the whole story.
