The Commission of the Apostles Pt. 3

Saints, we must face the truth about The Commission of the Apostles. The early church didn’t thrive on lukewarm faith or twisted doctrine. It didn’t look to human inspiration but called for repentance, heart and soul. God seized and pricked the hearts of men, not with soft words but with the thunderous truth of His divine standard. That day, they cried, “What shall we do?” And Peter, firm in his commission, gave them the unflinching answer: repentance, baptism in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and the promised Holy Ghost. Ain’t no shortcuts, saints. If you’ve been wandering off, it's time to adjust course. God has laid it down plain and simple—get right with Him or risk losing all.

Listen, friends, the apostles were tested and trained by Jesus Himself. They stuck with their divine training, refusing to peddle a watered-down gospel. They preached repentance and born-again living—not out of convenience or financial gain, but because souls were at stake. The early church understood togetherness, knew the power of oneness, and didn't let possessions cloud their mission. They shared all they had, tearing down walls of division. What’s that tell you? We can’t get by with half-hearted, part-time Christianity. We must live this Gospel daily, denying the false truths of the world, and embracing sincere faith in Christ. Eternity is on the line, dear saints, and we ain’t promised tomorrow. Let's not just be hearers, but doers, building His kingdom with all we've got.
