Jesus forgave Paul because what he did, he did in ignorant unbelief. But the abundant grace of God was enough for Paul. He said in verse 15 that Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom he felt he was chief. Paul was so thankful for the mercy and love that Jesus had shown him. We too can be thankful today because the same mercy, love and forgiveness is still being shown.
Where do you stand today? Are you where Paul was? Do you doubt that God loves you and that Jesus is real? If you do, allow Him to show you like He showed Paul, that Jesus is indeed real and that He loves you. Maybe you have people in your family that are not saved and you doubt they ever will be. Don’t doubt that God can save them. Surely they are no worse than Paul was. Jesus reached Paul and completely changed him and He can do the same for anyone.
