Renewed Purpose

God has created each of us with a plan for our lives. We are his handiwork, and he longs for us to take part in the good work that he has for us to do. In order to come alive to this plan for our lives, we often have to die to the way we used to live.

In the book of Acts, we learn of an interesting character named Saul who is persecuting the early church. He does it with zeal. He lives for it. But then, Saul encounters Jesus along the road to Damascus and he is miraculously transformed.

His purpose is renewed as he no longer is hunting down Christians, but becomes a church planter and writes the vast majority of the New Testament letters.
