And so God invaded Saul's life, knocking him off his horse, and smote him with blindness to bring him to his knees. The cost was Saul's surrender to the sovereign will of God in all things. Did Saul do anything to cause God to choose him? Nope. Thus, Saul's salvation was absolutely free and predicated upon God's sovereign grace. All it truly cost Saul was absolute surrender to God's will and grace. In this, Saul became Paul.
