After Paul’s conversion, how was his background used to carry out his life mission?
-
He used his education to communicate, and his testimony to convert people to Christ
-
After Paul’s conversion, his background opened advantages for him, that had he not been a devout Jew and a Roman citizen, he never could have taken advantage of. His Roman citizenship gave him rights that allowed him to minister without the restrictions placed on noncitizens. And as a devout Jew, Paul had a right to enter the synagogue and speak to those assembled there.
-
While all of Paul’s background he considered rubbish before the Lord because it did not impress God, it could be used for God’s glory to turn blessings back to him. Paul had an understanding of the scriptures, relationships with religious leaders, Roman citizenship, Jewish heritage, ability to write and speak well, etc. He used these abilities, understandings, and connections to to preach the Word and prove what God said through him.
-
He used his roman citizenship to his advantage along with his Jewish training in the scriptures to prove Jesus was the Messiah.
-
Paul used his background almost continually. It is just like God to use an individuals past for His Glory. He used his Roman citizenship, his Jewish training, bold zeal, etc…
