Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, “You almost persuade me to become a Christian.”

When Paul was talking to Agrippa they got into a deep conversation about the experiences Paul went through in learning about Christ.

Many people find it hard to believe the stories about Christ if they are told by themselves because they are so incredible.

When sharing Christ and the resurrection, always try to make it personal because people will believe a personal account more than a third party story.

Share Christ in a personal way to show people you have a personal relationship with Him.

Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.

There was a temple in Corinth where the Jews would meet every week on their Sabbath day as was their custom.

Paul took this opportunity to go to the temple every week and speak to them showing them how Jesus fulfilled the scriptures in every way.

He continued to work during the week but made sure he took time out every week from work to be with other people to share the Gospel.

Paul tried to get all people to accept the Gospel whether they were Jews or Gentiles; he wanted them all to embrace God’s Word.

Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.

One of the most amazing things about our God is that He is willing to forgive us no matter what we have done; the issue is not how much we have done wrong but whether we are willing to ask Him to forgive us!

We cannot shock God about anything we have done wrong or what we have not done right, we only get ourselves caught up in useless worry.

Giving up before you get going is not a good way to win a race of any kind. Giving up before asking God to forgive you is about as useless as not starting the race you want to win.

1 Corinthians 10:22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

I don’t think many people understand how jealous God can get when we run off and worship other things instead of Him.

We could try to compare it with how we would feel if the person we loved the most in our lives ran off with someone else, but I don’t think it would measure up somehow.

God’s love for us goes far beyond our understanding and when we go against Him it is going to mean more than us going against our partners.

Our trust and faith in God needs to go beyond our normal understanding just as His loves for us does!
