As Paul and Silas preached the gospel, they faced opposition more often than not. When a slave girl who was possessed by an evil spirit was shouting who these men were, they cast the spirit from her. This freed the girl and she was no longer under the control of the spirit or her slave owners.

The truth of the gospel works in the same way for us today. Once we know the truth and have been impacted by the power of the Holy Spirit, we can walk in the freedom Christ died to give us. No longer enslaved to our sin, we are a light to the world that illuminates the faithfulness of God. The gospel is about God's perfect plan to redeem what is truly impossible to redeem outside of Him. It is only through Jesus Christ that we are reconciled to God and forgiven. The truth of Christ is the only hope we have of ever being truly free and the answer to whatever we face. 

 

Acts 16:13-24
