God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may become God's expression and representation (cf. Ephesians 1:4). As God's chosen people, our center and content should be Christ with His person and His work. His person is who He is, both divine and human. His work is what He has accomplished. The church, God's house, should only express and represent His person and His work.
Saul's center was the law, a system created by God through Moses. Even this should not be our center. When Jesus visited him, he was made clear. As a result, he experienced a dispensational transfer. Paul was transferred from all things (even good things) to Christ. Sing the following hymn and enjoy the dispensational transfer. Amen!

1. We from the law to Christ have turned;
To trust in Him by grace we've learned.
And since His glory we've discerned
We only care for Christ!
We only care for Christ!
We only care for Christ!
And since His glory we've discerned
We only care for Christ!
2. Christ brings us to God's house to dwell,
Where all day long His praises swell.
O hallelujah! None can tell
How lovely is God's house!
How lovely is God's house!
How lovely is God's house!
O hallelujah! None can tell
How lovely is God's house!
3. The house enlarged the city is;
The joy of all the nations 'tis,
The place for God to rule is this
On Zion's holy hill.
On Zion's holy hill,
On Zion's holy hill,
The place for God to rule is this
On Zion's holy hill.
4. From Zion Christ will take the earth
nd reign and fill its souls with mirth.
All nations will proclaim His worth,
Break forth and sing for joy.
Break forth and sing for joy,
Break forth and sing for joy,
All nations will proclaim His worth,
Break forth and sing for joy.
5. Christ--house--he city--earth, we see;
Thus God's great plan fulfilled will be.
O brothers, let us utterly
Be one with Him for this.
Be one with Him for this,
Be one with Him for this,
O brothers, let us utterly
Be one with Him for this.
