Acts of the Apostles

Acts of the Apostles

1.The people i learned about in the unit suffered in extremely similar ways. Many were imprisoned by the people who tried to block out the power of god then later executed. Some suffered mentally as well. God in a way tested them to the point where they lost all hope in god and in themselves. But in the end all of the apostles that i learned about had full faith in god and either were saved by him of died in the name of him, which made them martyrs.

2. I found that the Acts story of Paul in Corinth was inspiring. The line that i found the most inspiring from the story was “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you…” this quote was inspiring to me because i always say to myself to never keep silent to the things that i think is right or wrong. Reading the story made me believe this even more.

3. I have experienced many challenges in my life and i think that i have dealt with them in similar ways. The two most challenging things that i have experienced in my life are people saying “you can’t do that” or “good luck with that”, but the only way i know how to deal with things like that are by proving them wrong and doing it. Then the other challenge i always have is with myself.

4. There are a few people that i turn to when things like that happen. My parents of course because i know they always want the best for me. My mom is the one i go to when i have something super personal to deal with, then i go to my dad for everything else or a problem that i really need to think about.
