Acts 7:50 “Has not my hand made all these things?” It is impossible to believe in millions of years of development of the universe while at the same time believe the Word of God is truth. Throughout God’s Word (the Bible) creation is stated as truth. This verse is an example of words of Peter recorded by Luke in God’s Word. Two apostles-Peter and Luke. They both had an outstanding faith as taught by our Savior. They would never say or record Creation if it was not true. Therefore, we can only reach one conclusion–God is the Creator of the Universe! Have a great weekend.

Acts 8:20-21 “Peter answered, ‘May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God.”‘ God does not want anything other than our heart. The man in this lesson thought he could be right with God by buying that favor. He was far from understanding God. God is love and He wants our sincere love–that’s it-nothing else as there is nothing else to offer that God doesn’t already own. Even the richest billionaire has nothing to offer God. Our love and obedience to Him through our Savior is our treasure chest–nothing else.

Acts 7:41b-42a They brought sacrifices to it and reveled in what their own hands had made. But God turned away from them and gave them over to worship the sun, moon and stars.” Can anyone actually worship, I mean worship, honor, put their trust in, glorify, anything or anyone other than the True God? Yes, it’s done by many regularly. Money, assets, education, images of gods, self are all false gods many rely to gain security and comfort. How foolish. All idols crumble. True comfort and security and peace is from one source alone. All of us constantly seek the One thing needful–the One True God. We thank God that He has opened our hearts to know Him alone.

Acts 7:17a “As the time drew near for God to fulfill his promise to Abraham…” God always fulfills His promises. That truth is absolute. What promise has God made to you and me? Answer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. What does that promise mean for you and me? Answer: We will spend eternity–imagine–eternity in Heaven! That promise will be fulfilled. That promise eliminates our fear of our life coming to an end on this earth. Heaven is our Home!

Acts 7: 9b-10a “…God was with him and rescued him from all his troubles. He gave Joseph wisdom and enabled him…” God never changes. Joseph, like all the other Old and New Testament adopted and loved children of His, was protected and enabled to live under the blessing and protection of the Almighty God. Every Christian has the same guaranteed benefits. You and I are wonderfully enabled to live under His protection. There is nothing more comforting and enjoyable. How blessed we are.
