LYDIA ACCEPTS CHRIST
Acts 16:13-15 New Living Translation (NLT)
13 On the Sabbath we went a little
way outside the city to a riverbank, where we thought people would be meeting
for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there. 14 One
of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who
worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she
accepted what Paul was saying. 15 She and her household were baptized, and she
asked us to be her guests. “If you agree that I am a true believer in the
Lord,” she said, “come and stay at my home.” And she urged us until we agreed.
