Making It Personal

In Acts 26, we see Paul standing trial before King Agrippa, boldly sharing his personal encounter with Jesus and defending his faith in the risen Savior. Despite the political and religious pressures around him, Paul remains focused on explaining how Jesus fulfills the promises made in the Jewish scriptures, including the hope of resurrection. Paul recounts his transformation from a persecutor of Christians to a follower of Jesus, emphasizing that faith in Christ leads to forgiveness and a life dedicated to serving God. He directly challenges Agrippa’s beliefs, implying that true faith requires visible change and repentance. Through Paul's example, we’re reminded that our lives should reflect our faith in Jesus—not just through words, but through how we live every day.
