“I’m confused…I always believed science would be the cure-all for my problems, but I don’t know if I can keep living without eternal life. I guess I’ll just have to find a way myself to make it through this meaningless existence. I just wish I knew of someone who could show me the path to eternal life. If science can’t provide the answers, though, then who or what can!?”
Paul would reply: “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. Because it is the power of God that leads to salvation unto salvation to everyone that believeth” (Romans 1:16). Paul had firsthand experience with the Gospel’s power to change a life for the better and give reason for living.

DISCUSSION OF THE SCRIPTURE:
MISGUIDED ZEAL
ACTS 22:3-5
Gen. 11:1-9
Isa. 29:13; Matt. 15:8

CONVICTING EVIDENCE
ACTS 22:6-11
1 Cor. 15:1-10
John 20:24-29

CALL FOR SALVATION
ACTS 22:12-16
1 Cor. 6:11
Titus 3:4-5

MISSIONARY ZEAL
ACTS 22:17-21
1 Cor. 15:10
Col. 1:28-29

Perhaps you are confused about life and want to know where to find true meaning, true comfort, and true help. If that describes you, then isn’t it time you obeyed the Gospel in order to be blessed by the Gospel?
