Sharing the Gospel with the open heart – Acts 8:26-40

Philip was obedient to the Lord’s guidance. He not only shared the Good News both publicly but also privately on this occasion. Although the Lord gave him the ability to communicate the gospel in a way that led people to believe, it is God’s work, not man’s, that leads to salvation. But He has chosen us to use us as His instruments. Their example is helpful for us to understand how we can be used by the Lord to share the gospel. It clearly shows us that God will put in our path people whose hearts are ready to receive the gospel. We must be obedient when He does. Let’s look at how he does it in Philip and how we should be attentive to these opportunities.
