这段讲道探讨了基督教信仰的核心，并非一套教义，而是一种能彻底改变人的力量，以保罗的转变为例，说明了这种改变的深刻性。讲道中提到，每一次改变都包含三个要素：一个不受约束的神、一个顽固的事实（耶稣的复活）和一种彻底的关系。首先，改变始于认识到所面对的是一个真实存在、而非自己创造的神，需要通过研读圣经来认识。一个真正能改变人的神，会告诉你一些你不想听到的真相，也会告诉你一些美好的真相。保罗的转变并非主观体验，而是对耶稣基督复活这一客观历史事实的回应。耶稣基督的复活是福音的核心，即使对一些教义有疑问，但复活的真实性足以让人相信并顺服。耶稣基督的复活是一个顽固的事实，需要用历史的视角来解释。保罗关于500人见证复活的记载，在当时的历史背景下难以伪造，证明了复活的真实性。其次，耶稣与信徒之间存在着一种彻底的关系，他与信徒同甘共苦。成为基督徒不是靠努力获得，而是接受耶稣的恩典。理解耶稣与信徒之间的关系，能帮助我们摆脱对世俗认可的依赖。耶稣如同王者般将信徒高举，彰显了信徒在上帝眼中的价值。上帝与信徒同甘共苦，在信徒遭受苦难时，上帝也一同承受。复活的教义战胜了苦难，将苦难转化为更大的喜乐。耶稣与教会紧密相连，信徒也应该积极参与教会生活。最后，通过研读圣经、认识耶稣复活和理解与耶稣的关系，可以获得改变。

Shownotes Transcript

Christianity was originally never understood as a set of teachings that one took on. Christianity was a power that took you up. It completely turned you inside out, transformed you from the inside. 

The classic example is the conversion of Paul. Paul was an abusive, violent zealot. He went from someone who was deeply unhappy and restless to someone who was utterly unflappable, absolutely content. How? A radical, deep conversion. 

We all need to know how to live deeply converted lives. And though Paul’s conversion is dramatic, it shows three things involved in every conversion: 1) an untame God, 2) a stubborn fact, and 3) a radical relationship.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 23, 2003. Series: The Necessity of Belief. Scripture: Acts 9:1-19.
