Cartersville First Baptist Church

Acts 5:1-16 teaches us that the fear of God fuels the mission of God. These verses contain one of the most unusual accounts in the New Testament. God has commissioned His church to speak the Gospel. Meanwhile, Satan is doing everything within his power to prevent it. Satan has tried outside opposition. Now he deploys the tactic of inside deception. The Holy Spirit acts swiftly to protect the purity of the church, for where there is no purity there is no power.   The Holy Spirit’s actions restore a proper fear of God. This fear of God produces purity and purity restores power. Thus, from Acts 5:1-16 we see that the fear of God fuels the mission of God.
