“Religion versus New Life”
Acts 13:44 – 14:28
I. Those who place their trust in Jesus Christ receive new life.
New life . . .
- comes through belief in the Gospel (Acts 13:48; 14:1, 21, 23, 27).
- brings a hunger for the Bible (Acts 13:44, 49).
- brings joy (Acts 13:48 and 52).
- brings dependence on God (Acts 13:52; 14:3, 11-18, 23, 26 and 27).
II. Religion without new life is empty. Empty religion . . .
- comes through rejection of the Gospel (13:45‑46; 14:2).
- brings jealousy over what God is doing around them (Acts 13:45).
- brings self-reliance instead of God-reliance(Acts 13:50; 14:2).
- brings attack against believers in the Gospel (Acts 13:50; 14:2, 5, and 19).
Main Idea: Those who have new life need to live it out!
