“The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.”

All,

This stands out because Peter says, “And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us”.  I love how Peter is confident they have the Holy Spirit in them. Their hearts were cleansed by faith. Are you enjoying the fruit of the Spirit?  Please pray that we and our friend’s hearts are cleansed by faith. Please pray for Hollis Hart.
