A. Since the word of God was written this way-->
Therefore shall the word of Jehovah be unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little;
that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Isaiah 28:13
B. Please study this sermon and find out the followings:
1. It takes how many piece of information to form?
2. From how many books of the Bible?
3. How many chapters and verses that you know?
4. How can you become able to do this?
This is the sermon--> Does any know what first hand information mean?
A. Jesus’ personal instruction. Mark 16:14-16
1. Later Jesus appeared to the 11 as they were eating;… Mark 16:14
Here we get to whom Jesus gave the instruction--> the 11. (12 disciples miner Judas.)
2. He said to them: Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Mark 16:15
Here we get what Jesus wanted them to do with the gospel--> preach it to all creation.
3. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,... Mark 16:16
Here we get what all creation must do to be saved--> Believe and is baptized will be saved.
To be able to preach this way one must at least equip with these 2 places of scriptures in his mind:
a. 1 Cor.2:11--> … no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
b. 1 Jn.5:6--> … it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
B. The best accurate source of information--> The 11 eyes witnesses disciples. Acts 2:36-38
1. Let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Here we get--> … God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36
2. When they heard, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles,
Brethren, what shall we do?
Here we get these followings-->
a. They heard God has made Jesus both Lord and Christ.
b. They were pricked in their heart.
c. They asked Peter and the rest of the apostles!
These were the 11, the personal eyes witnesses!
d. The most important question all creation must ask--> What shall we do to be saved?
3. Peter replied: Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
Here we get what those believed God had made this Jesus both Lord and Christ must do to be saved!
After they believed they must repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins …
We all know, forgiveness of your sins is the center piece of all God’s work for thousands of years!
4. How apostle Peter being a fisher man, dull headed, unschooled man able to preach these? *****
a. Jesus promised him to send the Spirit of truth to guide him into all truth. John 16:12-14
b. Jesus fulfilled his promise to him in Acts 2:1-4 and he verified this in 2 Peter 1:3.
c. Thank God, it is wonderful that I remember all these at 6 a.m. September 10, 2013!
d. As Apostle Paul said, Peter and he preach with the mind of Christ. 1 Cor.2:16.
e. Therefore, anyone preach otherwise has to be out o his mind!
C. Apostle Paul’s personal witness! Acts 22:12-16
1. And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews that dwelt there,
came unto me, and standing by me said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight.
And in that very hour I looked up on him.
And he said, The God of our fathers hath appointed thee to know his will,
and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
For thou shall be a witness for him unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
And now why tarried thou? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his name.
2. Anyone equipped with messages from Acts chapter 9 have to know Saul had confessed that he believed
that God had made this Jesus both Lord and Christ and had repented!
3. Anyone remember the messages in item B of this sermon has to know what does it mean in this-->
Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.
4. Equipped with Gal.1:8 and 9, all must understand this-->
“Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name” and
“be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins”
convey the same message! Otherwise they will all be in hell!
5. Here is why must we take Apostle Paul’s message at its face value? Gal.1:10-12
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God?
Or am I trying to please men?
If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up.
I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
May the Lord bless you and keep you always!
