Paul at Mars Hill shares the gospel after being greatly distressed by all of the idols in Athens as well as by the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers. Idols and philosophies never deliver fully on what they are promising. The give you just enough to keep you coming back but never leave you satisfied. Meaning, purpose, and abundant life can only be found in Jesus!

When the Bereans were presented with the gospel, they received it with eagerness and examined the Scriptures to see if what Paul said was true. As a result, many of them put their faith in Jesus and became new creations in Christ! As we hear new truths presented from others, the Spirit will lead us to do the same thing today. We receive the information but don't necessarily take it as truth. We examine the information in light of the Scriptures and depend upon the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to us.

In Acts 16, the Philippian jailer is so stunned that Paul and Silas stay in jail after an earthquake opened up a way of escape that he asks, "What must I do to be saved?" After putting his faith in Jesus, he and his entire household are saved! God is such a good God that He even brings purpose into our suffering and can use it to transform the lives of those around us.
