God Can Use You

God Can Use You

By all accounts, Stephen was a good man full of the Holy Spirit. He was knowledgeable in the Word, corroborated by his accurate account of the Israelites recorded in this chapter. The people’s response to Stephen’s claim was to stone him. 

Notice in this passage that Saul, also called Paul, was there giving full approval of the people stoning Stephen. This man, who would write over half the books in the New Testament, encouraged the death of Stephen, a man full of the Holy Spirit. 

If God can forgive and make whole a man who encouraged the death of a Godly man, He can certainly forgive you of whatever holds you back from accepting what Jesus did on the cross for the forgiveness of your sin.

Stop waiting, accept Christ’s redeeming sacrifice and live your life for Him! Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Acts 7:58b

Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.
