Paul was one of the most important people in the early Christian church, and his story demonstrates the power of Jesus Christ.

Key Points:

  • What was Paul’s background? Paul was Jewish and came from a devout Jewish background. Before becoming a Christian, his name was Saul of Tarsus.
  • How did Paul become a Christian? On his way to persecute more Christians in Damascus, Saul met the risen Christ.
  • Paul and Christian theology. Paul’s letters further developed the Christian doctrines that the first century Christians were trying to understand.

Quote This:

Acts 9:15 But the Lord said, “Go, for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to the people of Israel.”
