God Can Save Anyone…Even You 
Pastor Blake Hanson | 1.4.23 

 

Acts 7:58 (NLT)

58 and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. His accusers took off their coats and laid them at the feet of a young man named Saul.

 

Acts 8:3 (NLT)

3 But Saul was going everywhere to destroy the church. He went from house to house, dragging out both men and women to throw them into prison.

 

Acts 26:10 (NLT)

10… And I cast my vote against them when they were condemned to death.

 

Acts 9:1–9 (NLT)

1 Meanwhile, Saul was uttering threats with every breath and was eager to kill the Lord’s followers. So he went to the high priest. 

2 He requested letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, asking for their cooperation in the arrest of any followers of the Way he found there. He wanted to bring them—both men and women—back to Jerusalem in chains. 

3 As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him. 

4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?” 

5 “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! 

6 Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.” 

7 The men with Saul stood speechless, for they heard the sound of someone’s voice but saw no one! 

8 Saul picked himself up off the ground, but when he opened his eyes he was blind. So his companions led him by the hand to Damascus. 

9 He remained there blind for three days and did not eat or drink.

 

1) Salvation is by God. 

 

Acts 9:3 (NLT)

3 As he was approaching Damascus on this mission, a light from heaven suddenly shone down around him.

 

Titus 3:3–5 (NLT)

3 Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other. 

4 But—When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, 

5 he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.

 

2) Salvation includes

Acts 9:4 (NLT)

4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul! Saul! Why are you persecuting me?”

Acts 26:14 (NLT)

14 We all fell down, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is useless for you to fight against my will.’ 

 

3) Salvation leads to true

 

Luke 6:46 (NLT)

Acts 9:5–6 (NLT)

5 “Who are you, lord?” Saul asked. And the voice replied, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting! 

6 Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

 

Acts 22:10 (NLT)

10 “I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ “And the Lord told me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus, and there you will be told everything you are to do.’
