The Choice to Obey
Commentators like Charles Ellicott highlight the profound implication in Paul's phrasing. By stating, "I was not disobedient," Paul implies that disobedience was a real possibility. Even in this dramatic, divine encounter, human will was involved. Paul actively chose to submit to God's call, demonstrating that God's grace invites, rather than coerces, our response.
