03 - Saul of Tarsus, Christian

The world today is filled with false conversions: people who know about Jesus, but do not actually know Jesus. What is the difference?

Listen

So he [Paul], trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:6)

The world today is filled with false conversions: people who know about Jesus, but do not actually know Jesus. In this sermon on Acts 9:6, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones brings us face to face with the saving power of the Gospel. It is the Gospel that produces contrition, the sense of fear and trembling that comes when sin is exposed and the need for forgiveness is made clear. More than a temporary emotional experience, true conversion involves the will, heart, and the mind. True repentance abandons the former life and looks back with gratitude and thankfulness for the patience of Christ in saving sinners. The love of Jesus surrounds the believer and brings a peace that surpasses all human understanding. The saved child of God now looks at Hell and realizes he has been saved from it, by our gracious and loving Lord.
