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 Three - The Reality of the Father's Sovereignty - Devo for 11/15/08

Reading:
Ephesians 3:20-21

Questions:
1. Can a human fully understand the changes God wants to make in him or her?
2. Why or why not?
3. What is "the power that worketh in us?"
4. What is the reason God works in us to reverse the curse of sin? (v. 21)

1. No.
2. Because God is so great that in our very limited mind it is impossible for us to fully grasp the concept of what changes God wants to make.
3. God.
4. So that we can glorify him.

1. not really....

2. we will never at one time know exactly everything God has planned for us, He doesnt want it to be that way, so He limits our knowledge, but He will always open a way to figure out His plan for us. We just have to chose to open our eyes and take it.

3.God

4.so that He can be glorified through us and what He is doing in us.
