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 11/13/08

Reading:
1 Corinthians 15:20-28; 51-58


Questions:
1. Jesus is going to present all believers to God the Father one day. What is the curse on humans that will be completely destroyed at that time? (v. 26, 54-56)
2. Verse 57 says Christ gives us victory. Why does He bother to do that? (Why does He want us to win over sin in our lives and ultimately, death?)
3. Defeating the poisonous effects of our sin nature can be a tough battle. How does verse 58 encourage you to persevere in this battle till the day of the great presentation to God?
