Psalm 139:13-16

 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are

wonderful, I know that full well.  15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.

When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained

for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

What were Saul’s physical and intellectual abilities

prior to his encounter with Christ?

What abilities did Saul lose and which did he retain

the moment he encountered Christ?

1 Timothy 1:15b-16

Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display

his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive

eternal life.

relating to new Christians?
