Just as men of violence have torn the earth asunder throughout history, so have there been people of grace and peace – many of them martyrs – who have been a light of morality which exposes a prevailing culture of darkness.
Sometimes our witness, borne out of our belief in the gospel of Jesus, is enough to make others think of living in a different way. Sometimes, like with Saul/Paul, God is required to intervene and do the changing. And when a heart of stone is turned into a heart full of grace, people are motivated to do amazing things, and offer a life-changing witness for others.
