He got involved alongside anti-Christian extremists who trounce upwards Christians as well as sometimes killed them. He enjoyed this because he felt he was superior to Christians.
Then God spoke to him as well as he accepted Christ.
But how could he larn over his past?
He writes close this work below:
"I am the to the lowest degree of the apostles as well as produce non fifty-fifty deserve to hold upwards called an apostle, because I persecuted the church building of God... But i matter I do: Forgetting what is behind as well as straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the destination to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward inwards Christ Jesus" (1 Corinthians 15:9; Philippians 3:13-14).
Just similar Paul, there's nada inwards your yesteryear that tin proceed you lot from loving as well as serving the Lord fully if you lot aspect upwards it honestly as well as "press on."
For a really thorough 1-page explanation of Paul's pre-Christian life, I recommend this resource: Paul's Conversion. It contains both Scripture resources as well as commentary.
