05 Acts – the Holy Spirit’s Work
By Richard
In Acts 5, Peter and the Apostles appear before the religious leads in Jerusalem. They speak about Jesus’ death and resurrection and place as Saviour. They remind the religious leaders that they were “witnesses” of what had taken place. Then they add this important statement.
“The Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him, corroborates every detail” (Acts 5:32).
It reminded me that I can live for Jesus and preach about his reality, but in order for people to believe they need the Holy Spirit to do a confirming work in their hearts. We need to be praying that the Holy Spirit corroborates the realities of our witness for Jesus.
