Converted, Healed, Filled and Raised<\/p>\n
Acts Chapter 9<\/p>\n
If we chose four words to describe the life of a believer\u2013that is, what the Lord Jesus does for the believer from before the first hour we believe until we come into final glory\u2013these four words might sum it up: converted, healed, filled, and raised.\u00a0 In the ninth chapter of Acts, in three different people we see the Lord perform these four things.\u00a0 The Lord Jesus Christ converted Saul of Tarsus, healed Aeneas from his sick bed, filled Tabitha with good works and raised Tabitha from the grave.\u00a0 The names of the people change, but what Christ worked for them and in them tells us what he does for every chosen child of God from the first hour of grace to the last.\u00a0 If the Lord does one of these for us he does all of these for us.\u00a0 When the Lord first converted you, he healed you spiritually, he filled you with his Spirit, and he raised you from death to life.\u00a0 Every time he has healed us from our sickness of self-righteousness and trial, he has converted us from darkness to light, filled us with good works, and raised us from the dungeon of dead deeds.\u00a0 As he continually fills us with good works, he continually converts us from the lies of our hands to the truth of his, continually heals us from all our sinful doubts, and raises us to behold him and all the good which He accomplished on our behalf.\u00a0 He has raised us over and over, but there is coming a day when he shall raise us one last time.\u00a0 Then we will be converted from this mortality to immortality, healed from this body of death, filled with knowledge and understanding like we have never had, raised incorruptible to be with our Lord forever more.<\/p>\n
