However, his radical transformation and subsequent ministry were undeniable evidence of God's power and mercy. This glorification is a reminder that the ultimate purpose of a believer's life is to bring glory to God, reflecting the light of Christ in a world that desperately needs it. because of me Verse 24. - And they glorified God in me (καὶ ἐδόξαζον ἐν ἐμοὶ τὸν Θεόν); and they were glorifying God in me; that is, for what they recognized as God s work in me and through me; in my own conversion, and in my effective ministering of the gospel to others.

Acts 21:21).

And his preaching was the same now as it had been then. ADDITIONAL NOTES. |
