In all of acts, Chapter 5 really stood out to me because it shows that God can use the worst situations for good purposes. The first part of this chapter talks about Ananias and Saphirra. When you sell a piece of property, you’re supposed to give ALL the money to the apostles, so that they could use it to benefit God’s kingdom. Instead, Ananias kept part of the money for himself. This shows that he had a lack of faith that God would provide for his needs. He would’ve been better off giving up all the money to the apostles, because if he did, God would give him exactly what he needed. But because he didn’t, God killed him to teach us a lesson. This shows that God can use evil (Ananias’s selfishness) for good (A lesson to all who read about it).
