Some Things That Followed Saul’s Conversion–He Implicitly Obeyed Orders

"I was not disobedient unto the Heavenly vision" (Act_26:19).

Such were the words that Paul the Apostle spoke to Agrippa, in after years, as he recounted his conversion. They were words that expressed his first steps in the Lord. From the Roman jail Paul, the aged, wrote: "I have finished my course." Such words clearly mean that Paul had fully followed God’s will in and through him.

What greater ambition can a believer have, than to do all of God’s pleasure, standing perfect and complete, in all the will of God?

We need men and women who will get on their high tower and listen and see what the Lord will say unto them. Who will implicitly obey Him and go with Him, all of the way.

Obedience is the highest manifestation of the workings of the grace of God in one’s heart and life. "He that hath My commandments and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me," said Christ. Sin is the transgression of the Law; sin is my way. Salvation is turning from our way and entering upon God’s way. Christ becomes Lord and Master, we become His bond-slaves.
