How do we know that Paul was genuinely transformed on the Damascus Road?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's conversion experience on the Damascus Road, where he encountered the risen Christ, is documented and testified to his radical change in beliefs and actions.

The narrative of Paul's conversion, particularly in Acts 26, provides a compelling account of how his life was transformed after encountering Jesus. Initially, Paul was vehemently opposed to Christ and persecuted Christians, believing he was serving God. However, when he met the risen Christ on the Damascus Road, he was brought low, recognizing Jesus as Lord. This encounter leads to a complete turnaround in his life—he shifts from persecution to a fervent commitment to spreading the gospel. The authenticity of his transformation is also evidenced by the lasting impact he made on early Christianity and his willingness to suffer for the faith he once opposed. In Galatians 1:23-24, Paul himself refers to the profound change, where those who once knew him as a persecutor of the Church now glorified God because of his faith.
