A Powerful Truth

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the most powerful truth we can ever speak as followers. In Acts, we see how The Holy Spirit gives Jesus' disciples the power to preach in different languages. Thousands are saved because of their obedience. It also gave them the power to heal in Jesus' name. At this point, the same group of influential people who thought they killed Jesus find themselves to be angry and unsettled. Jesus was dead in their eyes, yet many were proclaiming that he rose again and is alive. Despite what the world tells us how we should be as Christians, we MUST be bold and keep proclaiming the truth. We have this example in Acts of how the church should be. It starts in our hearts. Are we willing to know what the word says? Are we spending enough time hiding God's word in our heart so the Holy Spirit can use us? Are we in prayer, spending one-on-one time with Jesus Christ? Let's be ready to go out into the world so that we can be bold and persistent! Talking about religion is important because it's the only way to salvation. Are you allowing God to mold your heart for this task?

"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead- by him this man is standing before you as well. This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the cornerstone. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Acts 4: 8-12
