God’s Providence

Lydia’s case similar to Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26, 29) and Cornelius (Acts 10:9-20). Eunuch: God told the preacher

where to go (Acts 8:26, 35). Cornelius: God told the preacher

where to go (Acts 10:34-43; 11:13b-14).

Preacherspeople with “noble and good hearts” (Lk. 8:4-15; Acts 17:27).

God Opened Lydia’s Heart

No “direct operation” of the

Holy Spirit!

Rom. 10:17; 1 Cor. 1:21

Lydia

Lydia’s heart “opened” to receive the gospel (Acts 16:13b-14). Intellect: by instruction, through

teaching the “facts” of the gospel (Deut. 4:9; Ezra 7:10; Psa. 86:11; Jn. 6:44-46; 1 Cor. 15:1-8).

Emotions: also a part of the “heart” (Acts 2:37; 2 Cor. 5:14; 5:11).

Will: obedience is evidence of a changed will (2 Cor. 7:10; Acts 2:37-38, 41; Rom. 10:17).

God Opened Lydia’s Heart

Summary

Intellect: educated by things “spoken by Paul” (v. 14).

Emotions: stirred by words preached that “opened her heart” (v. 14).

Will: activated to “heed” (i.e., obeyed) as she was “baptized” (v. 15)

Final Thoughts

Why does God have to open men’s hearts? Matt. 13:14-16 (Isa. 6:9-10)

Who’s responsible, God or man? Isa. 53:6; Acts 28:17-29

If a heart is closed, who closes it? Jas. 1:13-15

God gives us free will: Rom. 6:16-17; 10:8; Lk. 8:4-15; Rom. 10:9-15; Mk. 16:15; 2 Thess. 2:13-14; Jas. 1:18; Rom. 1:16
