Conversions in Acts
Christians are those who have been saved by the grace of God through the blood of Christ accepted through their faithful obedience
to this gospel of Christ.
Grace is the gift of God to man
demonstrated in the giving of His son
as the only acceptable sacrifice for sin.
Through Jesus death burial and resurrection and specifically the shed blood of Jesus
man has the opportunity
of being redeemed back to God.

traces the impact of Gods grace
on the life of people in the first century
As Jesus was lifted up as king and redeemer
by the proclamation of the good news
of the kingship of the risen Christ.
We see mans response to the good news
and the way that thousands accepted
the offer of salvation that was available through the blood of Jesus.

Conversions in Acts
The gift of Gods Grace through the death burial and resurrection of Jesus opened
the door for us to have our sins forgiven and
to receive the indwelling gift of the Holy Spirit and walk a new way of life in Christ Jesus.
The same offer of salvation
through the blood of Jesus is available today in the same way as it was made available
so long ago. We need to respond in the same way to be born again to a living hope.

Some baptize to affirm salvation by faith alone.
Some baptize so that you can join their church.
Some baptize for original sin in sinless infants.
Others baptize for dead people.
What do you think?
Were you baptized into Christ?
Acts 4:12; Gal 3:27;
Were you baptized for the remission of sins? Acts 2:37-38; Acts 22:16;
Salvation
is in Christ!
Our sins
are washed
away!
Baptized for (unto) the remission of sins. Acts 2:37-38;
Baptized into Christ. Gal 3:27
Were you baptized into the death of Christ? John 3:3; Matt 26:28; Rom 6:3-4; John 19:34;
Were you baptized into the church? Acts 2:47; Acts 20:28; Eph 5:23; Eph 1:22; Cor 12:13;

Christ’s Plan:-
Go into all the world.
Preach the gospel.
Baptizing them.
Teaching them.
Preaching the Gospel:
The Church’s Mission: preach Christ!
Follow the form of teaching. (Rom. 16:17;)
Hold the pattern of sound words. (2 Tim 1:13;)
Do the will of the Father in heaven. (Mt.7:21;)
God’s Power:
The gospel is the power of God. (Rom. 1:16;)
Word of the cross is the power of God.
I Cor. 1:18-21;)
The Work of the Church:
Preach the gospel--central to the great com-
mission . (Mt. 28:19; Mk. 16:15-16, Lk. 24:47;) Make known the manifold wisdom of God.
(Eph 3:10;) The pillar and foundation of truth.
(1 Tim 3:14-15;)
There is no other plan!
The New Testament Church
Advanced the Gospel
“ in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
“How can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written,
how beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.” (Rom 10:14-15;)

42. we could not do for ourselves
THE WAY OF SALVATION.
God has done for us what
we could not do for ourselves
We were sinners perishing, condemned
to death because of our own sins
God demonstrated His grace by accepting
the blood that was shed by the death burial and resurrection of His son as payment
for our sins and sinfulness.
We need to respond to accept God’s
offer of Grace in faithful obedience.

43. We find from the book of Acts that
THE WAY OF SALVATION.
We find from the book of Acts that
People are given the opportunity to hear
the good news of the sacrifice of Jesus.
They had to make a choice whether or not
to respond to the message of God’s grace.
Those who believed and repented, confessed their belief in Jesus and were baptized.
We are told that they then received
the forgiveness of their sins and
the indwelling gift of the Holy Spirit
and were added to God’s kingdom,
His family, the Church.
