Lesson:
After Saul was converted, his name was changed to Paul. He was determined to keep his promise to follow Jesus Christ and share the gospel. The Jews were angry with him for teaching about Jesus Christ. But Paul kept teaching. He traveled many places, teaching the gospel and baptizing those that would hear his message.
Paul warned the people against worshipping idols and false gods. He taught the people that we are the offspring of God. God created all things, including us. Not only are we one of His creations, we are His children.
Heavenly Father loves all His children and wants them to know that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and that He has a plan for us. We can share the gospel with those around us and help to gather the family of God.
Quote:
“You are a child of God. He is the father of your spirit. Spiritually you are of noble birth, the offspring of the King of Heaven. Fix that truth in your mind and hold to it. However many generations in your mortal ancestry, no matter what race or people you represent, the pedigree of your spirit can be written on a single line. You are a child of God!”
– Boyd K. Packer
