There are ways that seem right to man but they are paths of death as established by the Bible and it is a reality since many people believe they are on the right path doing whatever they want in the name of freedom when they really are completely slaves of Your own sins.
Thus we find a man in the Bible called Saul of Tarsus who mistreated Christians and killed them in the name of the law because according to their opinion they were false and blasphemed in the name of one called the Christ.
Among the plans of Saul of Tarsus, what happened to Damascus was not planned.
for him but if he was among God's plan
Read:
>>Acts 9: 1-9
Meanwhile, Saul, still breathing death threats against the Lord's disciples, presented himself to the high priest 2 and asked for extradition letters for the synagogues of Damascus. He intended to find and take all those who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, to Jerusalem. 3 On the trip it happened that, as he approached Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying:
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5 - Who are you, Lord? -I ask.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," the voice replied. 6 Get up and enter the city, that there you will be told what you have to do ...

Paul sincerely believed that he was doing the right thing before God but was totally wrong because he had not understood the gospel of Jesus Christ and was totally blind spiritually. However, the best thing that could happen to Paul was to go to Damascus because there he was truly able to open his spiritual eyes when he has an encounter with Jesus of Nazareth himself
God's plan is always to save man from his sin and the way God used to call this man who persecuted his church was this way:
On the trip it happened that, as he approached Damascus, a light from the sky suddenly flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying:
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
God is merciful and does not want anyone to get lost because of that he calls Saul but before he leaves him blind with the glow of his light so that he understands that He alone is the almighty Lord and that it really was not with the Christians that he was getting into but directly With God.
God does it to show him the way of salvation through his son Jesus Christ and he changed it to show him the true way and what it really means to follow the footsteps of Jesus since Paul was not only following Christians but opposing Christ and his kingdom .
Pablo's conversion to Damascus is one of the greatest tests of the reliable resurrection of Christ and the new birth of man who opens his eyes in the midst of a spiritual darkness.
