Paul's conversion in the book of Acts

If you read Paul's testimony in Acts, you see there in Acts 9:3b, that suddenly, "there shined round about him a light from heaven" Then it goes on to say in Acts 22:13 where Paul now describes his conversion experience as not just "a light", but "suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me".

Now, even later, in Paul's life he describes his conversion experience: "At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me..." Acts 26:13.

In other words, Paul says, "how glorious a salvation, but how much more glorious to me now, as I continue my Christian life its 'above the brightness of the sun!!!!!!!!!!!'"

If someone has truly trusted Christ as their own Personal Lord and Saviour, you are different! You are Changed!! That's all there is to it!!

I love that word "conversion." Conversion means "CHANGED", or "TURNING".

Anyways, the Lord has laid this upon my heart so... other than that, I Love Him, because He first loved me!!! 1Jn. 4:19.
