Saved in Damascus

 by David Long

Was Saul (Paul) saved on the road to Damascus (Acts 9)? No, he was saved in Damascus. "And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do" (Acts 9:6). After fasting and praying for three days in Damascus (Acts 9:8-11) Ananias came and told him, "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" (Acts 22:16).
