Event: The Council at Jerusalem = Peter’s comments
S - Scripture
Acts 15 v. 8-9 And God who knows the heart bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, but cleansed their hearts by faith.
O – Observation
No distinction. Same process for all. That's the beauty of these two verses. That's the beauty of our God. 1 Peter 3 v. 9, "The Lord is not slow about his promise as some count slowness, but is forbearing toward you, NOT WISHING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD REACH REPENTANCE." We need to remember that. God wants ALL to be saved. ALL means no exclusions. Our faith CAN'T be a country club, a members only sort of deal. We need to reach out to those that God presents to us. We need to share God's word with them, pray for the Holy Spirit to enter into their lives. Romans 10 v. 17a, "So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the Preaching of the Gospel."
A - Application
Am I making any distinctions to whom I share the Good News with?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Thank you for dying for ALL. Love Will
