Paul’s words after his conversion are a good reminder of God’s mercy and grace to each one of us who had been forgiven.

“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.”

1 Timothy 1:12-13
