Genuine Faith
May 18, 2025 • Brad Hillman
In Acts 8:9–25, Simon the sorcerer is amazed by the power of the Holy Spirit and tries to buy it, revealing a heart still bound by sin. Peter rebukes him, calling him to repentance and showing that God's gifts cannot be purchased, but rather come by grace through faith. This passage highlights that genuine faith isn’t about gaining power or influence, but about receiving God’s grace through surrender to Jesus.
