The Miracle of New Life

When we think of Pentecost, we often focus on the flames of fire or the sound of rushing wind. But the greatest miracle of that day was the transformation of 3,000 hearts. These were not just emotional decisions; these were Spirit-convicted, gospel-anchored responses to truth.

Peter preached Jesus—crucified, resurrected, and reigning—and the people were “pierced to the heart.” That’s what the Holy Spirit does. He reveals our need for a Savior and then empowers us to respond in faith.

If you ever feel unqualified or unworthy, remember that God specializes in using the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary. Like Peter, like the 3,000, your life can be a living testimony to His power.
 
Scripture:
1 Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
 
Application:
Are you living in a way that reflects your identity as God’s chosen and set-apart child—and how are you declaring His praises in your daily life?
 
Prayer:
God, thank You for the miracle of my salvation. Remind me often of what You’ve done in my life and let me never take it for granted. Use me to be part of Your ongoing work of salvation in others.
 

The miracle of salvation is ongoing. Every day, people across the world are being raised from spiritual death into new life. And you are part of that miracle—your salvation is a supernatural act of God’s grace.
