After his conversion, baptism, and Apostolic commission, Saul begins preaching Christ as the Son of God. We see that title not only communicates the eternal divinity of Jesus, but also shows Him as the greater Adam, Israel, High Priest, and David King, who, as our covenantal head provides those in Him with righteousness, atonement, and victory over sin and death.
Acts 9:19-21 “For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus. And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, ‘He is the Son of God.’ And all who heard him were amazed and said, ‘Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?’”
