Forgiveness matters

Acts 8:3 “But Saul began to destroy the church.  Going house to house, he dragged off men and women andput them in prison.” Saul was as evil as evil gets.  The passage above describes Saul’s activities after he encouraged the stoning of Stephen, which happened only because Stephen was faith filled.  Saul changed.  Saul became Paul, the author of approximately half of the New Testament.  The same loving God who forgave and directed Saul/Paul’s life forgives you and me and directs your and my purposeful lives.  Forgiveness certainly matters.
