Acts, Part 3
Acts 2:36-3:12
What can we learn from Peter’s sermon?
Be bold enough to speak up.
Use scripture, not opinion.
Acts 2:38 – See also Ephesians 1:4; I Peter 1:20.
Acts 2:39 – Peter said the promise extended to those “who are far off.” Paul later used the same wording to refer to Gentiles in Ephesians 2:11-18. Peter was alluding to Gentiles without even realizing what he was saying.
Acts 2:38, continued: The Holy Spirit had foretold (II Peter 1:21) the coming of this gift. Jeremiah 31:31-34; Isaiah 53:11; Joel 2:32. Many were baptized, but they could not perform miracles, so it is clear that this gift was not a miraculous indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The gift was salvation!
Acts 2:47 – This refers to God adding people to the church in the universal sense.
