Scripture
Acts 21:37 - 22:22
In Acts 21:37-22:22, Paul boldly shared his testimony with a hostile crowd, recounting how God interrupted his life and revealed His eternal plan. Paul’s encounter with Jesus wasn’t the beginning of God’s work in his life—it was the moment his eyes were opened to what God had always intended. His story reminds us that the gospel isn’t just an opinion but the truth of God’s sovereign plan to save and transform lives. When we share our own testimony, we declare that same truth: God’s grace is greater than our sin, and His plan for us is eternal.
