Luke gives a one-sentence description of Dorcas who is also known as Tabitha in Acts 9. He says that her life was characterized by being full of good works and acts of charity. If someone had to give a one-sentence description of your life, what would they say? Would it be characterized by the Spirit's work in you and through you or by your own fleshly works to build your own kingdom up? As new creations in Christ, when we submit ourselves as receivers of the Vine, He will produce good works through us.

On the road to Damascus to persecute Christians, Saul encounters Jesus and begins to preach the good news! Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus is one of the most unexpected events we see in the Bible, but God's ways are not our ways. He had a plan to use Paul as His chosen instrument to reach the Gentiles with the gospel. Saul's conversion shows us that you are never too far from the grace and forgiveness of our Lord and Savior.

In Acts 8, Philip encounters an Ethiopian eunuch and shares the life-changing good news of Jesus Christ with him. The Ethiopian eunuch puts his faith in Christ and is baptized immediately. The most unbelievable part of this story is that God called Philip away from what was basically a revival and sent him on a 3-day journey just to share the gospel with one man. He truly is the God who will leave the 99 in search of the one.

When the Spirit sent Philip to Samaria, this was during a time that the Jewish people despised the people living there. But He used Philip to share the good news of Jesus with them, and after Peter and John arrived to witness them receive the Holy Spirit, things were never the same after that.

As we live Life in the Spirit today, He will work through us to share the gospel in difficult situations and with people who may be very different than we are, but He will always provide.

There are 8 billion people in the world and statistics tell us that about 5 billion of them do not know Jesus. How will they be reached? In Acts 8, God scatters the church and worked in them and through them to share the gospel with others wherever they went. He does the same thing today. As we live Life in the Spirit, we will He will disrupt our comfortability to move us into His higher purposes for our lives. As we trust the Spirit and allow Him to work through us, more and more people will come to know Jesus just as they did when God sent the early church out in Acts 8:4.

In Galatians 4:4-7, we see what the Christmas story is all about. In the greatest love story of all, God sent Jesus to be born of a woman in order to redeem us and adopt us into His family.

Jesus became what we are so that we can become what He is.

But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. (Galatians 4:4-5)

In Acts 7, Stephen is stoned death after sharing and defending his faith before the religious leaders of his day. As Stephen died, the Spirit led and empowered him to forgive those who were stoning him to death. As we life by the Spirit today, He will lead us to share the gospel in the face of opposition and to forgive those who persecute us as well.
