Acts 2:1-21 God's Redemption
It's Method - Preaching
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judæa, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
1 Corinthians 1:21-24 -
The Failure of Man's Wisdom - 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
The Folly of Man's Wisdom - 22 For the Jews require a sign,
and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
The Fix of Man's Wisdom - 23 but we preach Christ crucified,
unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
The Fit of Man's Wisdom - 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
It's Mistake - Presuming
15 for these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
It's Mission - Proclaiming
The Word of God - 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
The Work of God - 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
The Will of God - 18 and on my servants and on my handmaidens
I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
It's Miracle - Preparing
19 and I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 the sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
It's Message - Providing
21 and it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
It's Surety - 21 and it shall come to pass,
It's Scope - that whosoever
It's Simplicity - shall call
They Must Know -
The Condition of Sin - They Are Sinners
The Cost of Sin - There's A Sin bearer
The Cure of Sin - There's A Saviour
The Condemnation of Sin - There's A Subduer
The Correction of Sin - There's A Surrender - shall call
It's Source - on the name of the Lord
It's Salvation - shall be saved. There Is -
No Doubt, No Denial, No Delay, No Disapproval, No Disappointment.
