Everyone has a past.

 Tonight, im reading about The Apostle Paul  speaking before King Agrippa. In this conversation the Apostle Paul declared his life and his wonderful conversion. In declaring his life he spoke of all the atrocities he was involved with persecuting Christians. We should also be aware of the fact and he was in the crowd that stoned the Beloved Stephen. The Bible said that he consented to what was going on. Now imagine your life back then. Say you were a believer in Christ and suddenly this man with such a atrocious history declares himself to be born again. Every single time that we read this story we should be reminded of  how Satan constantly accuses us before the Lord daily. I also realize why the Believers in Christ at this particular time, we're leery of Paul. His previous name was Saul of Tarsus. We all have a past and we're all still sinners. But upon repentance and beliefs and acceptance of the Dear Son of God Jesus Christ of Nazareth we have been changed bought with a price. That price what is the shedding of Christ innocent blood as an atonement for every single sin I have ever committed and ever will commit. After Shaw spoke of his past life he explained in detail how and where his conversion occurred. Well to end this blog in a brief manner let us all study this 26th chapter of the book of Acts. Jesus appeared and spoke to Paul or should I say saul of Tarsus and said these words Saul Saul why persecutest thou me it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks and Paul said who art thou Lord and He said I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. Then the Lord said but rise and stand upon thy feet for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make the a minister and a witness both of these things which thou has seen and of all things in which I will appear unto thee. In verse 17 of this chapter of Acts, Jesus said delivering the from the people and a from the Gentiles onto my whom now I send thee; to open their eyes, and to turn them from Darkness to light end from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins aunt inheritance among them which are Sanctified by faith that is in Me. Now these are precious words that our Lord and savior spoke he forgives me of my sins he opened my eyes in order to turn me from Darkness to light and to deliver me from the power of Satan. He also said that there is an inheritance that I will have among them which are Sanctified by faith and that faith is in Christ Jesus. This is a Blessed assurance that we all have when we recognize that we're sinners and that we need to repent from our sins that means to turn from them into another more blessed life following Christ. You know one day we're all going to die it's appointed unto us today once and then the judgement everyone that dies still lives some live in heaven and some live in hell. the Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance and be saved that's his desire and that should be our desire. Doesn't matter if you're young old healthy or unhealthy rich or poor, we all have to decide what we're going to do with Jesus Christ. Accept him or reject him. Myron is prayer is that everyone I know and come in contact with will search for the Lord. Amen
