What is the true nature of unbelief? How do we see this in the Apostle Paul, before and after his conversion?
Is becoming a Christian an addition to that which you are, or a complete change? Is it a modification of your existing standard of values, or a completely new standard?
The Apostle Paul was a sincerely religious - but dangerously religious - man before his conversion. What changed? What was he lacking? How did he become a new man?
Why was the conversion of Saul the Pharisee who became the Paul the Apostle a pivotal point in world history?
What is the nature of the knowledge that Christians receive once they are in Christ? How does the individual's outlook and worldview change?
What are the tests of true Christianity? What is the obedience of faith? What does surrender of the will involve? Is salvation possible without acknowledgement of the Lordship of Christ?

Dr. Lloyd-Jones addresses these and other controversial questions in this gripping message based on the conversion of the Apostle Paul.
True saving faith involves the mind, the emotion, and the will. How is this the case? Is mere mental assent to facts enough? Is an emotional experience enough? Can an individual be saved strictly by the exercise of his own will? How is the will involved?

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that mere assent to facts is not enough, emotional experience alone can deceive us, and that the will of the sinful heart must be transformed by the work of the Holy Spirit. Using the example of the Apostle Paul's conversion, he demonstrates that when God is truly at work in saving a soul, all three factors are clearly involved.
Everyone who becomes as Christian is astonished to be told, "Don't start doing anything, because you can do nothing. Everything you need and infinitely more is already offered to you in Jesus Christ, and you have but to take it and receive it."
Man's tendency, and even the tendency in much of the church, is to say that if only people's circumstances and surroundings can be changed, there is hope for them. But the Gospel is not about changing man's circumstances; it is about changing man himself.
When the Spirit of God brings about the salvation of a soul, man, instead of talking and expressing his opinions, is for the first time made to listen.
