Holding Nothing Back...

The story of Ananias and Sapphira is a cautionary tale that is shocking to read in the book of Acts. In many ways it servers as a litmus test about how we view sin. This whole incident clearly displays that even though we are under grace because of Jesus, God's character, holiness, and hatred of sin has not changed. It's simply not worth it to hold back from the Lord. His holiness makes it unwise, but His grace, kindness, and love make it unnecessary. God invites us into the glorious joy of an unhidden life with Him.
