How To Be Changed Like Paul:
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, (Romans 1:1 ESV)
Paul isn’t simply saying that he was ear marked for ministry—he was irrevocably transported to a new reality.
His new horizon as an apostle was vastly different than his old one as the disciple-persecuting Saul. And when your horizon is different, your entire future is changed.
Paul was expressing the irrevocable transformation the gospel worked in him. It wasn’t simply that some of his habits and ways of thinking changed at his conversion. It was that his entire horizon changed. God transported him from one place to another—from a dead life to a living one.
Paul didn’t simply change directions, he changed locations. And this is what it means to encounter the gospel of Jesus Christ and be made new.
