Accountable to Grow
“He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" - Acts 9:4
How did, Saul, one of the biggest persecutors of the early Christian movement, which was then know as “The Way”, go on to be remembered as Paul a saint who had more books of the New Testament attributed to him than to any other writer?
He was open to criticism, willing to be led, willing to learn and accountable to change.
Instead of responding defensively to the question, and trying to justify his actions, he sought to understand. “He asked, "Who are you, Lord?"
Saul had spent his entire life working hard to do the right things and to make the world a better place. How difficult it must have been for him to acknowledge that not only was he wrong, he had been completely blind to the truth.
If we want to grow, we have to stop being defensive, stop always trying to justify ourselves. We have listen, ask questions, and listen again to understand not just respond. We have to be accountable to grow.
