The Gift of God Cannot Be Bought | Acts 8:9–25
Acts 8:9–25 tells the story of Simon the Sorcerer, who believed the gospel and was baptized, yet later tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit with money. Peter strongly rebuked him, revealing that God's gifts cannot be purchased or earned—they are freely given by His grace.
This passage teaches us to examine our hearts and follow Christ with genuine faith, humility, and repentance. God's power is not for personal gain or status but for His glory and the building of His Kingdom.
