Acts: The Spread of the Gospel
This study is taken from John MacArthur's "Acts: The Spread of the Gospel." My prayer and goal for this devo is that we will learn more about how the early church laid the foundation for what we possess today, and that we would allow God to use us to turn our world upside for Him!
This will be an exciting journey, so encourage others to join you! I'm looking forward to the interaction we will have on this blog as we study the book of Acts!
The devos will differ in format from day to day, but two things are constant: 1) a daily reading, and 2) additional Scripture passages that are in bold. Be sure to read any and all of the readings/bold verses that appear so that you can see the full picture of what is taught that day.
Remember, you can access any of the previous devos that have been posted from the "Blog Archive" section on the left side of this page.

Chapter One - Seeing the Invisible - Devo for 10/18/08
2 Peter 1:3-9
Questions
1. From the first part of verse 3, rewrite in your own words what Scripture says God gives to believers.
2. From the second part of verse 4, rewrite in your own words how God gives us these things.
3. Verse 3 tells us that God also gives us great promises that He will help us to be more like Him...to have character like He does. Because He promises to help us add these character traits to our lives, He then tells us in verses 5-7 to add those specific character traits to our lives. Very quickly, list the traits that we are to add to our lives (with His help)
4. One last question: When we as believers don't bother to know these things about God and add them to our own list of character traits, what do we become? (verse 9)
