The Life of Paul The Apostle
Paul was one of the most important early Christians. He was originally known as Saul, and he was a Jewish Pharisee. However, after he had a vision of Jesus Christ, he changed his name to Paul and dedicated his life to spreading the Gospel.
Paul’s story is told in the Bible, in the books of Acts and the Epistles. Paul was born in Tarsus, in modern-day Turkey, around the year 5 AD. When he was a young man, he studied under the famous rabbi Gamaliel.
However, when Jesus Christ began preaching His message of love and forgiveness, Paul became one of His harshest critics. He even oversaw the execution of Christians who refused to deny their faith.
But then, one day, Paul had a life-changing vision of Jesus Christ. After that, he devoted his life to spreading the Gospel. He travelled all over the Mediterranean region, preaching about Jesus and establishing Christian churches.
Paul was an important early Christian leader. His story is an inspiration to us all.
