To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.Acts26:18

If faith is in Christ then no man can boast, for it is a gift.Praise be unto God!

Assurance unto all

Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained ; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Acts17:29-31

Are you content?

There are many different people doing many different things, some doing nothing at all, but are you content? Doing things comes to an end, then what? Some day we all must die then ..................judgement.

If you are not content you can be this very minute, by praying to God and seeking Jesus Christ for he is life.HE IS LIFE. Living day to day is not life but putting our very lives in His hands is.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:Fear God, and keep His commandments:For this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13. Matthew 17 :5. Acts6:2-4.

Rise from the dead

That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light [to shine or make manifest] unto the people, and to the Gentiles. Acts26:23.

God has through his prophets caused many to rise from the dead, but the difference with Christ rising from the dead is that he gave knowledge or revelation of that experience. If we believe that Christ is risen from the dead, then we will have no fear of death because Jesus conquered death and will save us. Death no longer has dominion over us. We then will not be so terrified of disease and turn to man and his inventions for healing [for sickness is insipient death] because Jesus is Life. Halleluiah!

tribulation

And there came thither certain Jews from An'ti-och and I-co'-ni-um,who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul,drew him out of the city,supposing he had been dead. Howbeit,as the disciples stood round about him,he rose up,and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Der'-be. And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many,they returned again to Lys'-tra, and to I-co'-ni-um, and An'-ti-och, Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:19-22.

Ye That Fear God

Then Paul Stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience." Acts 13:16

Paul was sent unto us, the Gentiles, to preach forgiveness of sins through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. If we fear God then we can receive the promise.

Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. ACTS 13:26

Let us hear the word of God.

What would Paul have thought?

Acts 17:18 I wonder how Paul would feel if he traveled to America today and saw the idolatry and people giving themselves over wholly to the gods of medicine. Certainly his heart would be moved like never before.

Then certain philosophies of the ep-i-cur'-ans, and of the sto' icks, encountered him. Some said, what will the babbler say? Other some, he seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods; because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.

Faith

And His name through faith in His name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yea, the faith which is by Him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Repent ACTS:3:16

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God;

Not of works, lest any man should boast. EPHESIANS 2:8-9
