You and I have perhaps read many times that fifth book of the New Testament, called the Acts of the Apostles. As we read through this unique book, we certainly see the apostles - namely, Peter and Paul - diligently at work in the ministry of the early church, first to Jews and then additionally to Gentiles. No doubt, the apostles were busy about the work of the kingdom.
But what made their works fruitful, or even possible in the first place? Perhaps we would know how to better answer this question if we slightly renamed the book in question to the Acts of the Holy Spirit. Beloved, in the pages of this book, many events take place. Sermons are preached, miracles are performed, lives are changed.
But we must never forget what made these works possible. It wasn’t because these apostles were such super, larger-than-life heroes. No, here’s the better answer, it’s because they had a God who sought to work through them, and beloved, if you call Christ your Savior and Lord, that same God seeks to work through you! So may the acts of the Holy Spirit continue to flow through your life as well as you follow your God.
