We are NOT the ones doing the buying!

Event: Simon the Sorcerer

S - Scripture
Acts 8 v. 20 But Peter said to him (Simon), "May your silver perish with you could you, because you thought you could  obtain the gift of God with money!"

O - Observation
The core message. We can't buy our salvation. No, our God, the one true God does NOT require money, or service hours or piteousness to get into heaven. Romans 6 v.23, "For the wages of sin is death, but the FREE gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." It doesn't make sense from a human point of view. Where there is a value for everything in terms of time and/or money. This is where Simon got hung up. We are NOT the ones doing the buying. We are NOT buying God. It's really the other way  around. 1 Corinthians 6 . 20, "You were bought with a price." That price was Jesus suffering and death . God the Father is buying us back from sin through Jesus.

A - Application
Do I realize that I am NOT the one doing the buying?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Thanks for purchasing me!!!   Love Will
