That they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us. Acts 17:27
D.L. MOODYPhilosophers are agreed that even the most primitive races of mankind reach out beyond the world of matter to a superior being. It is as natural for man to feel after God as it is for the ivy to feel after support. Hunger and thirst drive him to seek for food, and there is a hunger of the soul that needs satisfying, too. Man does not need to be commanded …

And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:43
D.L. MOODYHow much would Paul and Barnabas have accomplished if they had pronounced the benediction and sent these people home? It is a thing to weep over that we have got thousands and thousands of church members who are good for nothing toward extending the kingdom of God. They understand markets, and fairs, and sewing-circles; but when you ask them to sit …

You are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14
D.L. MOODYWhen Moses was in Egypt, to punish Pharaoh, he turned the waters into blood. When Christ was on Earth He turned the water into wine. That is the difference between law and grace. The law says, “Kill him;” grace says, “Forgive him.” Law says, “Condemn him;” grace says, “Love him.” When the law came out of Horeb, three thousand men were destroyed. (Exodus 32:28). At Pentecost, under grace, three thousand men found life (Acts 2:41). What a difference! When Moses came to the burning bush, he was commanded …

So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. Acts 27:25
D.L. MOODYFaith is a belief in testimony. It is not a leap in the dark. God does not ask any man to believe without giving him something to believe. You might as well ask a man to see without eyes as to bid him believe without giving him something to believe.
ERWIN LUTZERFaith is not a leap in the dark. There are plenty of reasons to believe in the promises of God, just as Paul did …

No one will take your joy from you. John 16:22
D.L. MOODYIn the second century, they brought a martyr before a king, and the king asked him to recant and give up Christ, but the man spurned the thought. The king said, “If you don’t do it, I will banish you.” The man smiled and answered: “You can’t banish me from Christ. He says He will never leave me nor forsake me” (Hebrews 13:5). The king got angry and said: “Well, I will confiscate your property and take it all from you.” And the man replied: “My treasures are …

When he calls to me, I will answer him. Psalm 91:15
D.L. MOODYListen to the prodigal, “Father, I have sinned” (Luke 15:21). That was enough; the father took him right to his bosom. The past was blotted out at once. Look at the men on the day of Pentecost. Their hands were dripping with the blood of the Son of God; they had murdered Jesus Christ. And what did Peter say to them? “It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21). Look at the penitent thief. Perhaps, …

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8
D.L. MOODYIf these early Christians had gone out and commenced preaching then and there without the promised power, do you think that scene would have taken place on the day of Pentecost? Peter would have stood up and beat against the air, while the Jews would have gnashed their teeth and mocked him. But they tarried in Jerusalem; they waited ten days. “What!” …

And the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all. Acts 3:16
D.L. MOODYFaith is the hand that takes the blessing. But don’t look too much at the hand. Suppose I ask a man who has just received a thousand dollars from a friend: “Did he give it to you with his right hand?” He would reply: “What do I care about which hand? I’ve got the money.”
ERWIN LUTZERFaith takes the gift of salvation from the hands of Christ. Our problem is that our sin is so …

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12
D.L. MOODYBy receiving Him, you get power, and not otherwise. Many persons have tried to be Christians and have failed. A man may as well try to jump over the ocean to Europe as to try to serve God before he is born of God. He has not the power. But when he receives Christ, Christ is the power of God unto salvation. We take Him: and He is our salvation.

You will be told what you are to do. Acts 9:6
D.L. MOODYA man at sea was once very seasick. If there is a time when a man feels that he cannot do any work, it is then. But he heard that a man had fallen overboard. He couldn’t do much, but he laid hold of a light and held it up to the porthole. The light fell on the drowning man’s hand, and a man caught him and pulled him into the lifeboat. It seemed a small thing to do to hold up the light, yet it saved …
