Is Redemption Really Free? What Paul's Story Reveals
About this episode
Pastor Roderick Webster explores the concept of redemption through the story of the Apostle Paul and his transformation on the road to Damascus.
Is redemption really free, and if so, what was the price? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens with the powerful hymn "Nor Silver Nor Gold" by James M. Gray and takes us deep into Acts 22:1-22 (KJV), where the Apostle Paul stands on the steps of the temple and gives one of the most compelling testimonies in all of Scripture. You might be asking — Can someone who actively persecuted Christians really be saved? What happened to Paul on the road to Damascus? Why did Paul go blind, and what does that mean for us? What does it mean that redemption was bought with the blood of Jesus? In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through these key points: - Paul openly identifies with his persecutors, sharing their background before sharing his transformation - A blinding light on the Damascus road stopped Paul in his tracks and changed his direction forever - Ananias, a man of good report, spoke simply — and Paul's sight was restored that same hour - Paul received a clear calling: to be a witness to all men of what he had seen and heard - The crowd listened — until Paul mentioned the Gentiles If this devotion encouraged you, please like…
