Acts 5 • Christian Charity • Acts of the Spirit (Part 6)

📖 Christian Charity and the Fear of God | Acts 4:32–5:11

What happens when generosity is inspired by the Holy Spirit—and what happens when it's manipulated for personal gain?

In Acts 4 and 5, we see a powerful picture of the early Church: united in heart and soul, radically generous, and full of grace. But we also witness a chilling reminder that God sees the heart. Barnabas gives from a place of encouragement and faith. Ananias and Sapphira, however, attempt to counterfeit that charity—and pay a steep price.

This moment isn't just about financial giving—it’s about the integrity of our discipleship. It reminds us that God cares deeply about the why behind our actions. The Church isn’t a stage for spiritual performance. It's a people shaped by resurrection power and radical love.

🔥 Key Themes:
🔹 The unity of the early Church
🔹 Spirit-empowered generosity
🔹 The danger of counterfeit charity
🔹 Integrity in giving and living
🔹 Living in holy fear before a holy God

When Peter confronts Ananias, he makes it clear: “You have not lied to men but to God.” The call of Christ is not just to give, but to give from a heart aligned with Him.

🙌 Let this message stir your heart. May we be people of sincere faith, bold generosity, and reverent awe of the God who sees and knows all.
