Notes:
Acts 2: As Peter spoke the message, many were convicted in their heart.
He said
Act. 2:37,39 → The conclusion was to repent and be baptized. That was the conclusion of Peter’s sermon.
Rom. 8:8 → If we follow our desired, we cannot please God.
John 21:18
Rom. 8:9 → We are no longer ruled by our desired, but by God’s spirit. When we have God’s spirit, we are no longer condemned.
This requires a monumental change of direction.
The apostles grew monumentally because they had God’s spirit.
Isa. 30:21 → God’s spirit will enlighten us and we won’t stumble.
The is the broadway and narrow.
Psalm 119:105 → By God’s spirit, we can follow His path.
Jer. 31:33 → I will write the Laws on their heart.
Rom. 12:1 → Present your body has a living sacrifice. God doesn’t require more of us than we are able to give. God wants our heart.
v. 2 → Do not be conformed to this world. Be transformed into God’s image, this takes renewing of our mind by using God’s spirit.
We can have immense knowledge, but lacking God’s spirit.
2 Cor. 5:17 → There is a new creation -- we are in the process of changing and growing. We no longer look at it from a carnal way.
Eph. 2:1 → We were dead and living in sin and were subject to God’s anger before He called us.
Matt. 18:3 → Unless we change and become like children.
Acts 3:19 → Repent so that your sins may be blotted out.
God’s spirit will be made for everyone at one day, but today is celebrating first fruits - God is eagerly looking to who will be in His family.
When God called us, we were handpicked - it wasn’t an accident. He is looking forward to reaping this harvest.
Phil. 3:20-21 → He will be changed into glorious bodies like Jesus Christ.
