God Quote-You Will Receive Power

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Acts 1:7 and 8.

Jesus told His disciples, “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

The disciples were wondering when Jesus was going to restore the kingdom to Israel. Many people today are curious to speculate on when Jesus might return to set up His kingdom. But Jesus was turning their attention to the task before them in the foreseeable future. His words are an important reminder for us to stay focused on being faithful witnesses for Jesus until His glorious return. As we are guided by the Holy Spirit, the Gospel will spread and bring salvation to many people around the world.

Acts 1:7 and 8-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
