DESCRIPTION:
It can be said that he was at war with God. Then, one day, Paul was thrown to the ground and blinded by Jesus' glory and called to separate himself from his past. He was to abandon his old life. Jesus was separating Paul from the world. We were like that. The Apostle James says that those who are friends with the world are enemies of God. To accept Christ is to abandon our friendship with the world. The call is to come out from among them and “be ye separate, touch not the unclean thing”. The call of Christ is to be separated. Come out. Leave the unclean behind. He has better things for us.. In the Bible the word for saint refers to those who are separated or set apart for God's service. Do you remember the kind of person Paul was before his experience on the road to Damascus? He walked in darkness. He was an enemy to everything and everyone relating to Christ. Paul says that all believers are called to be saints. We do not wait for sainthood to be conferred by our church. We are saints from the moment of conversion.
