Paul's Conversion: Dust to Glory

Ligoner Ministries·Ligoner Ministries·23:40

In this installment of his "Dust to Glory" series, R.C. Sproul meticulously unpacks the pivotal conversion of Saul of Tarsus into the Apostle Paul. The message delves into the profound theological implications of Paul's encounter with the risen Christ on the Damascus Road, primarily drawing from the account in Acts 9, examining how a zealous persecutor of Christians was sovereignly transformed and directly commissioned by Christ for a unique apostolic ministry. This teaching is crucial for growing Christians seeking to understand the foundational events of early church history and the doctrine of divine calling. Sproul emphasizes the radical nature of God's grace and sovereignty in transforming individuals, offering a robust theological framework for understanding personal conversion and God's specific purposes for His servants, thereby providing a deeper appreciation for Paul's authority and the authenticity of his apostleship.
