Acts 9:3-19 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:… I. THE TRUTH OF CHRISTIANITY. II. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD IN THE CONVERSION OF MEN. What has he, in regard to his salvation, which he did not receive? It is needful, in this connection, that we should be cautioned in regard to two points. 1. The conversion of Paul, while it illustrates God's sovereignty, does not exhibit any uniform plan as to the exercise of that sovereignty. He saves men by different ways. 2. We need to be reminded, by way of caution, that the sovereignty of God in the conversion of men gives no encouragement to continued impenitence. Therefore, harden not your heart. Reply not against God. Presume not on His forbearance. III. THE RICHES OF DIVINE MERCY towards the chief of sinners. (H. J. Van Dyke.)
