From acts 9, we see Paul as a type for every Christian in these four ways:
a.) By nature, he was at war with God.
b.)
Called by God, he was given a new nature, new affections; he could not but
proclaim the Gospel.
c.)
He was tested by other Christians to see if he was genuine.
d.)
He was faithful to the Gospel: some hated him for it, others were drawn to
Christ and built up by it.
