Questions for Reflection and Discussion:
Reread Paul’s conversion story in Acts 9.
1. How does that story encourage your faith for others far from God? Where do you see the grace of God?
2. Now think of your story. Where do you see God’s hand at work in times where you might not have recognized it in the moment?
Where do you see his protection, him making you aware of your weakness?
Where do you see grace?
3. Now look back and see the verbs Paul uses to describe his salvation. How are those things continually at work in you and in the life of the church corporately?

"The Spirit, for Paul, is at the center of Christian discipleship. Repeatedly, where modern evangelicals might be inclined to point people first to the Bible, or the gospel - pray in the Bible, rejoice in the gospel, be led by the Bible, find assurance in the gospel, experience God’s love through the Bible, keep in step with the gospel, and so on - Paul points people first to the Spirit. The chief actor in the sanctification of the believer is not a message, but a Messenger: a person who can be grieved or honored, not just a word that can be rejected or believed. The third person of the Trinity, for Paul, was a dynamic, experienced reality. " -Andrew Wilson, Spirit and Sacrament
