How do we know that Saul's transformation was genuine?

Answered in 1 source

Saul's transformation into Paul is demonstrated by his radical shift from persecutor to proclaimer of the gospel.

Saul's conversion is significant, demonstrating the transformative power of the gospel. Initially described as one who persecuted Christians, in Acts 9, Saul encounters the risen Christ, leading to his eventual transformation into Paul, a devoted apostle. His willingness to endure persecution himself, as outlined in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27, and his commitment to spreading the gospel even at the cost of his life, validate the authenticity of his faith. This radical change emphasizes that true conversion results in tangible life alterations, aligning one’s actions with the teachings of Jesus and a commitment to disciple others. His old identity as a vehement adversary becomes an enthralling testimony of God’s grace and mercy in the context of the broader Christian narrative.
