Difference in Attitude & Action Response To The Gospel Acts 2 -vs- Acts 7 Difference in Attitude & Action

Positive Response To Peter’s Sermon Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37).

Negative Response To Stephen’s Sermon Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and gnashed on him with their teeth (Acts 7:54).

Comparing the Passages Now when they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and gnashed on him with their teeth (Acts 7:54). Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, brethren, what shall we do?” (Acts 2:37).

Same Message Preached Acts 2 Acts 7 “Ye did crucify and slay” Jesus Showed their action was evil Asked how to correct their sin Acts 7 Charged with murder of Jesus Affiliated with previous evil Did not wait to hear solution

Difference Was Not In The Message Difference Was In The Hearts

Other Examples Difference between Thessalonica and Berea (Acts 17:1-12) This is point of parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23) Same principle holds true today Same sermon will cause humble to repent and prideful to stiffen their resolve to rebel Preacher of truth will be thanked by obedient & hated by lover of sin

Our Response to Correction How do we respond to gospel when taught? As word of man or God (1 Thessalonians 2:13) Ready to hear or prevent it (Acts 13:44-46)? Attitude & action distinguish (John 3:20-21)

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Hear the gospel (Romans 10:17) Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37) Repent of your sins (Acts 17:30) Confess your faith in Jesus (Matthew 10:32) Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38) Walk by faith in newness of life (Romans 6:4)
