It’s Because Of Faith
God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. He did not discriminate between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. Acts 15:8-9, NIV The Jewish Christians were trying to impose the law of Moses on the Gentiles, which led to an argument between them and Paul and Barnabas. Peter reminded them that God purified the hearts of the Gentiles by faith and not by works. He has no favoritism. Instead, God treats His children equally. He showed that He accepted them by giving them the Holy Spirit. Peter simply acknowledged God’s unexplainable…

Let’s Not Discredit The Works Of God In Other People’s Life
Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved.” Acts 15:1, NIV A group of Jewish Christians came down from Judea to Antioch and tried to impose their customs on the Gentiles, who had a different cultural background. They don’t believe that these new believers were saved not unless they are circumcised. They wanted them to follow the customs that Moses taught. It seemed like this group of Christians discredited the grace that God poured out to the Gentiles, and they tried to insist that they should follow the law. Have…

“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. John 1: 46, NIV Philip extended the good news to Nathanael and told Him that the One Moses wrote about was here, Jesus from Nazareth. And Nathanael wondered if this was true. He didn’t expect that good thing could still happen in Nazareth. Yes, it’s just a small town, and people in the days of Jesus didn’t really expect that God would choose this town as the place where the Messiah would grow. Like Nathanael, we also have this tendency where we tend to underestimate the small things in our lives, thinking that God will no…

Day 225 – Acts 7:35
“This is the same Moses they had rejected with the words, ‘Who made you ruler and judge?’ He was sent to be their ruler and deliverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush. Acts 7:35, NIV God can use anyone. Moses was rejected by the Israelites before, but God chose Him to rule His people. Moses committed a sin, but God accepted Him and made Him the leader of the Israelites. Yes, they never appreciate Moses at first, but God knows his heart, and He is the one who guided Moses along the journey. So if you think that God is calling you to…
