Faith in Jesus’ Name
Acts 3:16 + 26

The people had seen the lame man healed. Now Peter taught them about Jesus.

¹⁶ And his [Jesus’] name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all. ²⁶ God, having raised up his servant [Jesus], sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness.

The lame man was healed because he had faith in Jesus. Now the crowd listened as Peter told them to trust God and turn from doing wrong.

Think!

Have you believed in Jesus to save you? Then you should be turning away from sin to do what’s right. Think about something you still have trouble with. Maybe you get angry easily and you say mean things. Do you have a bad attitude? Are you lazy? Only God can change these things in you. Ask Him to show you the things He needs to change in you.

You can pray like this:

Dear God, thank you for saving me. Please change me to be more like Jesus every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
