The apostle Paul that wrote a most of the New Testament books shows up as two very different people in the Bible. He was introduced as an embittered madman, tearing wildly at the fabric of the church. Skip a few books ahead and he’s centered, consistent, and determined to give all of himself for the glory of Christ and the building up of His church. 1 Corinthians 15:8-10 bridges the gap for us in his story: He met Jesus, and was reborn spiritually. The great favor that was shown to him stirred him to commit his life to the Lord.
