CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN

And it's not the former world champion Cassius Clay (nee), Mohammad Ali. The change you can believe in is Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

One of the biggest if not the biggest change in history came over Saul (nee), Paul. Paul persecuted the church of God through zealous behavior. (Acts 8:3) He literally went from house-to-house dragging men and women off to prison for following Jesus. Furthermore, he voted to put them to death.

Yet on the Road to Damascus, he had a change of heart. That's what Jesus does. If he can change a persecutor of Christians into an apostle who wrote 13 books of the Holy Bible, He can probably change anyone.

There's nothing we can learn that can change our heart. Intellectual knowledge alone cannot bring about spiritual transformation. We become followers of Jesus just the way Paul did. Because of the person Jesus we've encountered.

In perhaps Paul's first letter written in 50 AD to the Galatians, he emphasized the freedom that believing in Jesus brings. "Do not let yourselves be burdened by a yoke of slavery." (Gal. 5:1)

He knew, and I pray that Mohammad Ali comes to know who really is The Greatest.
