Salvation Continues
Good morning; we have a great example of the church in the book of Acts chapter 2 to follow as the New Testament begins with a great explosion. Peter preached at Pentecost, and “they gladly received his word were baptized, and the same day there were added, unto them about three thousand souls” (v.41). What a day of worship those folks had, shouting, praying, baptizing, and singing in the Spirit of God. I can see the apostles leading people to Jesus with my spiritual eye, praying with them as they crossed over from death unto eternal life. But, I want you to know Salvation does not stop there, “The continued, steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (v.42). As you become a Christian, my friend, as you place your trust in Jesus, you must join with your brothers and sisters in Christ! We come together as the body of Christ to gain strength from one another, to learn of the Word of God, and to fellowship in the Spirit that joins us together. And as we follow the example we have and join together in the unity of the Holy Spirit of God, “and fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs (miracles) were done by the apostles” (v.43). As the body of Christ comes together in the Spirit of Unity, we allow God to work among His people; we will see great miracles done! I still believe in the Power of God; I still believe in the miracles of God among His people. I encourage you on this Lord’s Day to join with your local body of believers and allow God to bless your soul and perform miracles in your life. Father, I pray for our readers this morning that we follow the example we have in the early church in scripture that we will see souls saved and miracles performed on this Lord’s Day! Be Blessed in Jesus Name!
