Bible Reading: Acts 3:1-10
Focus verse: "They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart." Ephesians 4:18
Charles is a young camper at Sagarume camp station. He accepted salvation today during our Children Bible lessons. He was so touched through the story in Acts 3:1-10 where Peter heals a crippled beggar. Just like the crippled beggar was healed of his physical condition and was able to walk, he too said that he has been crippled in his spiritual life and needed to stand up from his bad behaviours and begin to walk with God for the first time. He stood up and said that, "I have been crippled in my spiritual life and today in the name of Jesus of Nazareth I am standing up and beginning a new life with God" He was lead to salvation and was happy to be born again.
We are all spiritually deficient before we repent from our sins and submit ourselves to Christ. Christ makes us new. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
If Christ has made you new, you can live your life for Him, tell others of this salvation and praise Him. If you are still spiritually crippled, you have the opportunity to be made new.
