Words of Life…… Of first importance…Act Lots happening here including a miraculous rescue from prison.What struck me was “… all the words of this life.“———————————————————Act ———————————————————Act Act ———————————————————Act What are the Words of this Life?Act 30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”Key Points:- Christ lived and died with purpose - Opened the door for repentance - For forgiveness of our Sin - He was raised by God- Exalted by God- Men are witnesses- God’s Holy Spirit is witnessJesus Christ came into this world to provide abundant and eternal life to spiritually dead people.John summarized it this way in his first epistle…1Jn 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life—2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.4 And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.Paul summarized it this way…1Co 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,5 and that he appeared to Cephas… to the twelve… 6 …more than five hundred brothers7 …to James, then to all the apostles.8 …to Paul.Key points:- Christ, the Messiah - Came to earth- Lived and died purposefully- To resolve the separation issue between perfect God and imperfect man- God raised Him from the dead- And provided witnesses - Men - His spirit- To affirm His involvement and intent.———————————————————Act 32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”These men were living out the obedience God called for…… at the risk of their lives.They WILL be beat for this move.———————————————————Act Act Act
