Galatians 1:23
“but they only heard: “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.””
What does Galatians 1:23 mean?
The early Christians could hardly believe the news about Paul. This former hunter of believers had become one of Christianity's most passionate preachers, and that reversal was so striking that it became the story people told about him. The verse captures how a dramatic transformation can speak louder than any argument, because when someone abandons what they once fought against and embraces it wholeheartedly, it makes people take notice. If you're in a season where you feel trapped by your past or your mistakes, this reminds us that change, however unlikely it seems, can happen and can have real power in the world.
