JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verses are Luke 8:38 and 39.

Jesus was met by a demon-possessed man in this chapter of the Bible. Jesus commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man.

“The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, ‘Return home and tell how much God has done for you.’”

Jesus is able to deliver us from evil. Whenever that happens in our lives, that is a reason to praise the Lord and tell others about His graciousness to us. The Bible tells us that this man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. This kind of good news is worth spreading across our communities.

These Faith-Building Verses inspire us to tell others how our lives are changed by God’s grace in the Year of Relationship.
