“I too was convinced that I ought to do all that was possible to oppose the name of Jesus of Nazareth. And that is just what I did in Jerusalem. On the authority of the chief priests I put many of the Lord’s people in prison, and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. Many a time I went from one synagogue to another to have them punished,and I tried to force them to blaspheme. I was so obsessed with persecuting them that I even hunted them down in foreign cities.Acts 26:9-11 NIV Bible Gateway
Most believers are familiar with the miraculous conversion of Saul to Paul on the Damascus Road proving God can, did, and does still use unlikely people for his purposes in the kingdom.
There is hope for everyone to turn away from wickedness and embrace the kingdom of God and no one is beyond hope. Who are we to decide who gets saved?
Beware of judging and condemning those you deem as lost and beyond hope. Every person has value in God’s eyes and He wants all men to know Him it says in 1 Timothy 2:4. Kindness leads to repentance. (Roman’s 2:4).
PRAYER: My hope is in Jesus. All those that come across my path daily have a story of sorts. I pray for Satan to be bound and anyone to be set free who has fallen in his trap. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
