Daily Devo | God Can Turn an Enemy Into a Friend (New Testament in a Year, Acts 22:1-30)

Standing before an angry crowd in Jerusalem, Paul shares his testimony of encountering Jesus. He explains how he was once a zealous persecutor of Christians, convinced that he was serving God by opposing the followers of Jesus. Paul then recounts his dramatic encounter with the risen Christ and how his life was completely transformed. The crowd listens attentively until Paul mentions God's mission to the Gentiles, at which point many become enraged and call for his execution! God's love can turn enemies (like Paul) into friends, and love pays that price.

For Reflection:

- Why is personal testimony such a powerful way to share faith?

- How did Paul's understanding of God and his mission change after encountering Jesus?

- Why do you think the crowd reacted so strongly to the idea of God reaching the Gentiles?

- How has God worked in your life to change your perspective, priorities, or direction?

- Prayer: Lord, thank you for your transforming grace—help me faithfully share what you have done in my life and follow wherever you lead.
