As Mentioned in Acts 8

There are seven things we might briefly note in relation to the eunuch—

4. The Confession on his Lips—Act_8:37. There is no hesitation when he is asked for a confession as to his faith. When we. know Christ in the heart, there will be no trouble to confess Him with the lips—Rom_10:9, Rom_10:10.

5. The Companion in his Chariot—Act_8:31. To companion with those who know the Lord is to catch the aroma of His presence—Act_4:13.
