       The news we have received gladly and whole-heartedly is good, and we want to share this so that others can experience what we have experienced. But Paul and his companions didn’t just preach the Gospel and people then became saved, but the power of God was behind it. The Bible tells us: “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12, ESV). There is power behind God’s Word, and it does change people lives. And God drew each person he saved to himself. It was through his power that people believed and their lives were changed. Each person who believed received the Holy Spirit. Of course, the process started with each individual being convicted of his and her sins, and then convinced of the Truth behind the Gospel, which Paul was proclaiming, through the power of God. The Holy Spirit moves to save people.
