What happened to Paul after his conversion in Acts 9?
After the conversion in Acts 9, Saul was taken by God into the desert for three years, where God revealed the doctrines of grace associated with the Church—things kept secret. He is the pattern and head of the line, the chief of sinners saved.
Les explains that after Saul's conversion in Acts 9, God would take him down into the desert for three years to reveal all the doctrines of grace associated with the Church—things that had been kept secret. Les ties this to the flow of Acts: chapter 9 records the chief of sinners being saved as the pattern and head of the line, while chapter 10 follows with the salvation of a house full of Gentiles. He also points to Deuteronomy 29 and God's sovereignty, noting that God held some truths from Peter and the eleven.
