But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
Philippians 3:7
Before meeting Christ, Paul could be described as a “hit man” for the Pharisees. From Jerusalem, he traveled around the area arresting Jews who had become followers of Christ, taking them to jail (or worse—Acts 22:3-5). But all that changed when he met Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus.
Acts 9: 1 – 9
As Paul and his associates traveled, a bright light from heaven caused Paul to fall to the ground (Acts 9:4). Falling to the ground is a posture in Scripture for worship (Revelation 1:17; 4:10; 5:8; 7:11; 19:10; 22:8). But Paul wasn’t worshiping; he was just shocked and scared. But it became an image for what he would be doing for the rest of his life: bowing his knee to the Lord Jesus Christ in worship. He fell to the ground in literal fear, but he lived the rest of his life in reverent fear—that is, in worship. When he discovered the true object of worship, it changed his life.
The more we worship our God, the more our life will change. worship and see how it changes your heart.
