How Is A Man To Be Saved?
Acts 2:37-42
Miles Seaborn
Intro: Four parts to Peter's sermon. Part 1 - The Introduction Part 2 - The Theme - Exhalting Christ Part 3 - The Appeal Part 4 - The Results
This sermon two and a half minutes. We realize that nobody could preach an effective sermon in two and a half minutes. (I have to believe that, you understand why!), but probably it was a lengthy message. We have the summary of the sermon.
The heartbeat of the Jews was that God would send a Messiah to restore their kingdom. Some day He would come. Then Peter says, Hou"killed Him. His name was Jesus.” He was Messiah because of His life. He was Messiah because of His death. He was Messiah because of His resurrection. He was Messiah because of His ascension to heaven.
Therefore, let all Israel be assured of this: "God has made this Jesus, whom you, crucified, both Lord and Christ."
So the cardinal sin of which God's Spirit convicts is that of unbelief - rejecting Jesus.
John 16:8,9 “When the Spirit of truth is come, He will convict of sin of righteousness, of judgement, of sin, because men do not believe in me."
So the dominate thing a lost person must realize is that he is a rebel against God's plan of salvation and God's Savior, Jesus Christ.
