Reaching People

Reaching People…Acts 2:38-41

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, or the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38

Reaching People…

Repent => according to Webster, to regret deeply anything said or done, guilt, sorrow, confession, shame.

According to Webster, we could be repentant and never do anything about it.

Reaching People…Biblical repentance => more than just an

agreement that what we are doing or have done is bad, it moves us to action.

Biblical repentance is more than altering our thinking a little to the left or right, it is thinking differently.

Biblical repentance is a call to transformation.

Reaching People…Romans 12:2

“Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is -- His good, pleasing, and perfect will.”

Reaching People…

2 Corinthians 5:17

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”
