Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are

hopeful that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it. Hi friends, welcome to a year in the Bible.

My name is Beth, and I'm here with my co-host, Alexa. Everyone, We are excited to spend one last day this week talking about Joel 2, 28, through 29, and Acts 2.32 through 33.

Today we'll be talking about how we can apply the truths that we have learned to our daily lives.

So, Beth, will you share with us how you are planning to apply these passages?

Yeah, of course.

So the reality that we have

the Holy Spirit dwelling within us literally changes everything about our lives. The Spirit is our

comforter. He is the assurance of our salvation. He is the one who gives us boldness to share the

gospel. He helps us when we pray and he empowers us to obey God's commands, and he is the one who will raise us

from the dead when Jesus returns. So there are many ways that we can actually apply the truth

from these passages this week. And so I think for me, I want to focus on how the spirit emboldens

and empowers me to share the gospel and spread the message of Christ to others. I personally do not

actually have very

many unbelievers in my life, which is something that I would love to see change. But the unbelievers

that I do know are very, very close to me. Often, it is with family members or close friends who do

not know Jesus that we actually have the most difficulty sharing Christ. And I definitely find this to be true for myself.
