Bible Question:
When did Saul of Tarsus have his sins washed away? Was it on that road to Damascus when he met the risen Jesus, or was it later in Damascus? What scripture proves the point at which Saul was saved? Saul could not have been saved until his sins were forgiven. |
Bible Answer: Act 9:4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?" Act 9:5 And he said, "Who are You, Lord?" Then the Lord said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads." Act 9:6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (NKJV) Jesus confronts Saul. Saul perceives God’s presence. Jesus identifies Himself. Saul confess Jesus as Lord and thus confession in made unto salvation at that moment and Saul is saved (Romans 10:9-10). Jesus Saves!!, retxar PS. I know my analyses here only works with the NKJV scripture I have quoted. I know it won’t work using the NASB. However, the NKJV has the correct reading here for Acts 9:5-6 based on Paul’s testimony in Acts 22:10 and Acts 26:14. |
