From his experience on the road to Damascus, Saul learnt all the following except that

From his experience on the road to Damascus, Saul (who later became the apostle Paul) learnt several important lessons. However, one of the things he did not learn was that he could successfully promote his own will. The other lessons Saul learned include that persecuting the Church meant persecuting the Lord himself, that in persecuting the Church, he was kicking against the pricks, that his confidence in Judaism was misplaced, and that he was specially chosen to preach to the Gentiles. But nowhere in the story of Saul's conversion does it suggest that he learned that he could successfully promote his own will. In fact, his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus led him to surrender his will to God and to dedicate his life to serving Christ.
