Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered outside the gate.  Therefore, let us go forth to him outside the camp, bearing his reproach.  For we have no continuing city here, but we seek one to come.

Gospel Tract #92

The Conversion of Saul

by George C. Clark, Sr. and John D. Clark, Sr.

Question #1

Who gave Saul permission to go to the synagogues in Damascus and arrest the saints of God and bring them to Jerusalem for trial?

The Bible Answer (Acts 9:1–2)

“Saul, still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, approached the high priest and asked him for letters to the Damascus synagogues, that if he found any of the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.”

Question #2

What happened to Saul just before he reached Damascus in his wicked search for every man or woman whom he found calling upon the name of the Lord Jesus?

The Bible Answer (Acts 9:3–9)

“In his journey, as he was drawing near to Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly shone around him.  And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul! Saul!  Why do you persecute me?’  And he said, ‘Who are you, sir?’  And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. And he, trembling and astonished, said, ‘Lord, what do you want me to do?’  And the Lord said to him, ‘Just rise up and go into the city, and it will be told you what you must do.’  And the men traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.  Then Saul got up from the ground.  And though his eyes were open, he saw no one, and they, leading him by the hand, brought him to Damascus.  And he remained without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.”

Question #3

Whom did the Lord send to visit Saul in Damascus while he was blind?

The Bible Answer (Acts 9:10–16)

“There was a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, ‘Ananias!’  And he said, ‘Here I am, Lord!’  Then the Lord said to him, ‘Rise up and go to the street that is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus.  Behold, he is praying.  And he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hand on him so that he might see again.’  But Ananias answered, ‘Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints in Jerusalem.  And even here, he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon your name!’  But the Lord said to him, ‘Go!  This man is my chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations and kings and the sons of Israel, and I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.’”

Question #4

What two experiences did Ananias tell Saul that God had sent him there to assist him in receiving?

The Bible Answer (Acts 9:17)

“Then Ananias departed and entered into the house, and laid his hands on him, saying, ‘Brother Saul, the Lord who appeared to you on the road as you were coming, has sent me so that you might see again and be filled with holy Spirit.’”

Question #5

Did Saul receive his sight and the baptism of the holy Ghost, as Ananias had said?

The Bible Answer (Acts 9:18)

“And immediately, something like scales fell from his eyes, and he saw again.  Then he arose and was baptized.”

Question #6

What did Ananias say to Saul after he received his first experience, that is, received his sight by Ananias laying hands on him?

The Bible Answer (Acts 22:16)

“So now, why are you waiting?  Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord!”

—————-

Question #7

Does the baptism with the Spirit of God usher a repentant sinner, such as Paul once was, into the body of Christ?

The Bible Answer (1Cor. 12:13)

“By one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and all were given to drink of one Spirit.”
