How to Become a Faithful Christian

Follow Paul’s Life

He Believed He Was Already Pleasing to God

He Heard the Gospel

He Saw Someone Willing to Die For It

He Was Confronted With the Truth

He Recognized He Was Blind and Needed to Allow Jesus to Help Him See

He Was Accepted and Encouraged By a Good Brother and Family in Christ

He Trusted God’s Grace Even Though He Wasn’t Perfect

He Had Hope in the Resurrection

He Helped Others to Find and Know Jesus

He Was Willing to Suffer

Did Paul Ever See, Hear, or Experience the Presence of Jesus?

Jesus Was Likely Just a Few Years Older Than Saul/Paul

Did Paul Hear Peter’s Sermon on Pentecost?

We Know Paul Heard Stephen’s Teaching About Jesus

But He was Kicking Against the Goads

Jesus was Poking and Prodding Him Toward the Gospel

But Paul was Kicking Against it

Jesus Goads All of Us to Be More Like Him

Do We Kick Against Him?

Paul Finally Stopped Kicking and Became a Follower of Jesus

But Jesus Didn’t Stop Goading Him

Jesus Goaded Him to Become a Goad Himself

He Goaded Others to Follow Jesus as Well

Then He Goaded Christians to Continue Following Him
