—Acts 8:26-35

This passage is an excellent example of what believers in Christ are called to do. Note Phillip’s immediate obedience to what God told him to do. We do not read of any argument or hesitation from Phillip. In fact, after the Holy Spirit told him what to do “Phillip ran” (v.30) in obedience. It is also essential to acknowledge that just because someone may have access to Scripture, it does not mean they will comprehend Scripture. We, like Phillip, are to explain the gospel to help those who do not know or understand it.
