Actions Of Believing

Acts of the Apostles Chapter 2: 14-47

The crowd grew and gathered in the area outside the upper room after the Holy Spirit fell on the 120, and the loud noise of a strong wind drew those in the city to find out what was happening. When they arrived, they found the 120 preaching boldly about Jesus Christ. That in itself would be impressive, but these believers were also sharing about Jesus Christ in the listeners' native languages!

Those who had come to see and then heard about Jesus in their own language wanted to know what this was all about. Peter comes front and center and tells them.

As Peter explains how this man Jesus is the one promised by King David, they ask Peter, now that they know the truth, what they should do. Peter goes on to tell them.

Peter’s directions are as valid today as they were 2000 years ago. When Peter first spoke these directions, over 3000 did what he directed that day and were added to the Kingdom. If you were in that crowd that day, what would you have done? If you had been one who held back, why?

Did God mean this only for the initial believers and not for this generation? I believe God intends all of us to follow what Peter stated as nowhere in the New Testament is there anything written that Peter was wrong or went too far.

As you read these words of Peter, humble your heart and mind and let the Holy Spirit lead.
