Acts 2:40-47
In barely
three chapters into the Bible, humanity goes from afternoon strolls in the
garden, hand in hand with God, to immaturely hiding behind a tree thinking of
ways that we could blame someone else (Genesis 3:8). Our very humanity was
eviscerated, becoming just an unrecognizable facsimile of what we once were.
The actions of Adam and Eve had drastic consequences as humanity inherited a
persistent propensity toward sin. To understand the role and significance of
the means of Grace in our lives, we must first understand the gravity of our
predicament. You were terminally ill by sin and the means of Grace is a
time-honored reliable ways of receiving the spiritual medicine we so
desperately need.
Did you
hated taking medicine as a child? How your parents would get you to take it?
Even when we
accept the effects of sins in our society, why is it so hard at time to admit
our own sinful nature?
Which one of
the means of Grace do you use the most? Which one of the means of Grace do you
use the least?
How would
your life be different if you were engaging on a regular basis with these means
of Grace?
