Gifts of God

The Holy Spirit:

Acts 2:38 

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 5:32 

We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

Luke 11:13 

If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

Grace:

James 4:6 

But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

1 Peter 5:5 

Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

Repentance:

Acts 11:18 

When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life.”

Romans 2:4 

Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?

Numbers 27:16-17  

16 “May the LORD, the God of the spirits of all mankind, appoint a man over this community 

17  to go out and come in before them, one who will lead them out and bring them in, so the LORD's people will not be like sheep without a shepherd.”

Thoughts on Today's Verse....

Wow! For any city, county, or country electing new leadership, or church selecting elders or ministers, what greater prayer could there be?
