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 10/24/08

READING
John 10:10; Ephesians 1:3

"Sadder still is that many believers ...will go to their grave defending their salvation, but they have little enjoyment of it in this life. They have very little light from God in their souls, and they have no idea why their life is so empty. Inwardly, they feel cheated and betrayed by a Christianity that hasn't delivered."

QUESTIONS
1. According to John 10:10, what kind of life does God intend for believers in His Son Jesus Christ to have?
2. Look up "Abundant" on webster.com and describe it in your own words.
3. In Ephesians 1:3, Paul says God gives believers "all spiritual blessings." Look up "blessings" on webster.com and then rewrite the verse, replacing "blessings" with synonyms (different words that mean the same thing...in case your brain is fried from too much homework this week!).
