Acts 5:27-32, 40b-4

The Holy Spirit is given to those who obey God.  Obedience and humility are the two keys that unlock the treasures of the Kingdom of God.  All goodness creates a response of violent anger in the hearts of the wicked.

There is wisdom in the natural order even if one professes not to believe in God.  Even if one professes another faith one need only to listen to the natural impulse of the human heart or conscience as they serve as a good and wise guide. 

Gamaliel spoke wisely and truly.

The life of the Spirit is a life of contradiction.  We rejoice when considered worthy to suffer for the sake of Christ and the Gospel.
 
Revelations 5:11-14

All that lives, all that is in heaven, in the universe and any place else that man knows not of praises, glorifies and honors the Lam who freely gave up His Life as a pleasing sacrifice to the Father in expiation for the sins of all from the first Adam to the last.

Psalm 30:2-6, 11-13

In the end, the scoffers and the unbelievers will be effectively silenced for they will see how God has rescued us from peril and danger and has given us a place with Him.  He heard our cry for help, saved us, and gave us eternal life.

Death no longer has the power to overwhelm us with sorrow.  Sin no longer has the power to keep us ensnared and in captivity. The Son of God has come and He has set us free from sin and death.  In Him we are victorious and we sing a song of victory.  Our praise to Him is unceasing.
