*A TESTIMONY*
_"I persecuted Christians."_
*_"For I received letters from them to our Jewish brothers in Damascus, authorizing me to bring the Christians from there to Jerusalem, in chains, to be punished."_*
*_"You are to take his message everywhere, telling the whole world what you have seen and heard."_*
(Acts 22:5,15)
In his testimony, Paul would not just tell the world of what he had seen or heard, he would also tell of what he had done. His testimony was that he troubled the followers of Jesus Christ even to the point if death. His testimony would sound like; "I am that guy Soul, whose name was changed to Paul when I met Christ."
Paul would actually get travel permits, with authority to round up Christians for punishment. The permits would even allow him to kill the followers along the way. After the dramatic conversion at Damascus, Paul would always give his testimony without hesitation. He even gave it as his defence whenever he stood before many councils. That was his testimony. He had once sunk deep into the mire, but God redeemed him and washed all his sins away. *(Acts 22:16)* Since then, Paul lived and suffered for the gospel of Jesus Christ. That became his story, song and testimony. Whatever your background, there is a testimony out of it once you meet Jesus Christ.
*Amen!*
