Gal 1:13-14 | MHM | STEP | v. 13–14 : Paul describes his past life, showing how drastically God changed him. He once persecuted the church violently and tried to destroy it. He was deeply devoted to Judaism and excelled in following the traditions of his ancestors. His background makes it clear that his conversion to Christianity was not influenced by human effort but by God’s intervention ( For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers , Galatians 1:13
