Closed Off To The Gospel Message
As the people left Paul, having mixed feelings about what they just heard, Paul then quoted from Isaiah 6:9,10.
Speaking of someone that God was still able to use during the most difficult of times was Paul, the apostle.
While in the service of God there will be persecution, even to the point of death. Nobody said that being a witness for Christ will come easy, instead it comes with a lot of hard work and tears.
Now that we have defined what a true Christian is, I would like you to think to yourself if you are living a life of a Christian.
In reference to the resurrection of the dead, this was the reason why the Jews were upset with Paul. How interesting this is, since Daniel taught the very same thing that Paul taught concerning this topic.
If you were to give your time to God and lay off all that TV watching, then you would be more inclined to read the Bible, pray and do the will of God.
I am sorry Jesus for my sins. You are my Lord and I can see how far I have strayed from You now. My life is a mess without You.
Paul surely was a man of God who loved the Lord, even if it meant great persecution would be in his path or his own death.
Surely with the Lord God in my life, my future is secure. All my burdens are lifted. Where there was hunger, He gave me bread to eat.
Eutychus did fall asleep, while hearing Paul’s message and, at the same time, did nothing wrong. You might ask then, why do you mention his story?
Please know that it is not the person that God hates but every wrong way. This includes ever false teaching, belief, doctrine and sin in this world.
After Peter was led out of the prison gates and into the city by the hand of the angel, he came to the house of Mary where the saints were gathered together praying.
Surely, God did not have to save Saul from the judgements that awaited the wicked and punishment of hell, but He did so anyways.
In Acts, chapter 8, we learn about a person that consented to Stephen’s stoning and ultimate death, whose name was Saul.
Because Stephen was full of the Holy Ghost, he was able to do great wonders and miracles among the people, much like Jesus did.
In the early church, the people of God were those that sold all their goods and gave everything they earned to the church and those in need.
