Still in the book of Acts
Let's see Acts 5:26-33
Word for Today:
We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging Him on a tree. 🆚 29b-30.
Again we see the apostles boldly answering the Council,declaring to them whom they have chosen to obey.
They preached the gospel of Christ this way:
- They told of Christ death and resurrection. 🆚 30.
- The forgiveness of sin that comes only through Christ. 🆚 31.
The Council members understood this and were highly enraged. Just as in the same way the world is hostile to the gospel.
In some place today you can only preach the gospel at the threat of death. But threat or no threat the apostles could not help but preach the gospel. We need to emulate their example.
Are there roommates of yours, classmates or friends who may not be totally hostile to our faith, but who has never heard the good news of the gospel from us?
What is holding you back?
Perhaps there is a family member who has not given his/her life to Christ, you need to trust God for their salvation today.
Peter and the apostles boldly declared the gospel to a people who were ready to put them to death. Rethink your evangelism life; win a soul for Christ today.
Prayer:
Lord, I ask for the boldness to present the gospel to my friends today in Jesus name.
