‎This morning we want to think together about the grace of Christ as it was working in Saul of ‎Tarsus shortly after his dramatic conversion to Christ. He was a chosen vessel of Christ. He ‎would receive the precious treasure of the truth of the gospel into his own heart, and he ‎would pour it out to others. At this hour, we want to look more carefully at what the grace of ‎Christ accomplishes when it is working powerfully in a man. What kind of effects does it ‎have, both for the man himself, and in relation to the people around him? I see three effects ‎of the powerful working of grace here in our text. 1st of all, when the grace of God is working ‎powerfully, Christian people are humbled to give and to receive spiritual help from each other. ‎‎(verses 10-12) 2nd – When the grace of God is working powerfully‎, people are forced to ‎consider more carefully the doctrine of election. (verses 12-16) And 3rd – When the grace of ‎God is working powerfully God Himself will open the door, for service to Himself, to begin. ‎‎(verses 17-22) I pray that each of us will receive this word to ourselves this morning, as what ‎it really is, the word of God which will perform a work in those who believe. ‎
