Do you want to believe?

"23 They only were hearing it said, "He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy." 24 And they glorified God because of me."

I have never actually tried to destroy the faith, but I have done countless things in the past that were...well pretty awful. And yet here Paul is writing the Galatians and makes no mistake about his past (it being much worse by his own admission) and now people are seeing the change God has made and are giving God the glory. Have you tried to destroy the faith? Maybe you have argued adamantly against it, maybe you still question it, maybe you even want to believe but are held back by what you have done. Let Paul, inspired by God to write this letter be an example. When you turn to God and give your life to him, the previously mentioned things are covered by his grace, the reason His son died for you, the enmity against God forgiven, His spirit will bear witness of the Truth, and questions will be answered. The end result, you'll be free, have a testimony, and others will give God the glory. Go to God, pray, wherever you are at in your life right now, pray.
