10: 24- end
Salvation comes to the Gentiles part 2
Called and Justified by the Lord Jesus
Christ
In John 15…. Jesus said…. You have not chosen me…. I have
chosen you…. This is a great truth….. Jesus reaches into our lives and begins a
miracle in our hearts…. We begin to seek the truth with a sincere heart….. That
is what we see here in Acts 10…. Cornelius a gentile… a Roman…. a pagan becomes
a seeker of the one true God…. let´s continue his story this morning…
Acts
10: 24-33 NKJV
24
And the following day they entered Caesarea. Now Cornelius was waiting for
them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter was
coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. 26
But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I myself am also a man.” 27 And as
he talked with him, he went in and found many who had come together. 28 Then he
said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company
with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not
call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore I came without objection as soon
as I was sent for. I ask, then, for what reason have you sent for me?”
30
So Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the
ninth hour[c] I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright
clothing, 31 and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms
are remembered in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa and call Simon
here, whose surname is Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, by
the sea.[d] When he comes, he will speak to you.’ 33 So I sent to you immediately,
and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we are all present before God,
to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
Acts 10: 24-33 Sch 2000
24 Und am anderen Tag kamen sie nach Cäsarea. Kornelius
aber wartete auf sie und hatte seine Verwandten und seine vertrauten Freunde
zusammengerufen.
25 Als nun Petrus gerade hineinkam, ging ihm Kornelius
entgegen und fiel ihm zu Füßen und huldigte ihm.
26 Petrus aber richtete ihn auf und sprach: Steh auf;
auch ich bin ein Mensch!
27 Und während er sich mit ihm unterredete, ging er
hinein und fand viele versammelt.
28 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Ihr wißt, daß es einem
jüdischen Mann nicht erlaubt ist, mit einem Angehörigen eines anderen Volkes zu
verkehren oder sich ihm zu nahen; doch mir hat Gott gezeigt, daß ich keinen
Menschen gemein oder unrein nennen soll.
29 Darum bin ich auch ohne Widerrede gekommen, als ich
hergerufen wurde. Und nun frage ich: Aus welchem Grund habt ihr mich gerufen?
30 Und Kornelius sprach: Vor vier Tagen fastete ich bis
zu dieser Stunde, und ich betete um die neunte Stunde in meinem Haus. Und
siehe, da stand ein Mann in glänzender Kleidung vor mir
31 und sprach: Kornelius, dein Gebet ist erhört, und
deiner Almosen ist vor Gott gedacht worden!
32 Darum sende nach Joppe und laß Simon mit dem Beinamen
Petrus holen; dieser ist zu Gast im Haus Simons, eines Gerbers, am Meer; der
wird zu dir reden, wenn er kommt.
33 Da sandte ich auf der Stelle zu dir, und du hast wohl
daran getan zu kommen. So sind wir nun alle gegenwärtig vor dem Angesicht
Gottes, um alles zu hören, was dir von Gott aufgetragen ist!
From the beginning….. God had always planned for the Gospel
be extended to the Gentiles….. God has
done the preparation in the heart and mind of Cornelius…… He will be the first
gentile convert to enter the church…. He is a pagan… He has been raised apart
from the law of God….. He has been raised apart from Judaism….. but he lived up to the light that he had….. in
his conscience….. and in the world around him…... Paul explained this very well
in Romans…. turn to Romans 1….v18….
Romans
1: 18-23 NKJV
18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because
what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and
Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God,
they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their
thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise,
they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an
image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping
things.He goes on to say, "That
which may be known of God is in them and around them, and if they don't
understand it, if they refuse to see God from their conscience and the world
about them, they are without excuse…..
Romans 1: 18-23 Sch2000
18 Denn es wird geoffenbart Gottes Zorn vom Himmel her
über alle Gottlosigkeit11 und Ungerechtigkeit der Menschen, welche die Wahrheit
durch Ungerechtigkeit aufhalten,
19 weil das von Gott Erkennbare unter ihnen offenbar ist,
da Gott es ihnen offenbar gemacht hat;
20 denn sein unsichtbares Wesen, nämlich seine ewige
Kraft und Gottheit, wird seit Erschaffung der Welt an den Werken durch
Nachdenken wahrgenommen, so daß sie keine Entschuldigung haben.
21 Denn obgleich sie Gott erkannten, haben sie ihn doch
nicht als Gott geehrt und ihm nicht gedankt, sondern sind in ihren Gedanken in
nichtigen Wahn verfallen, und ihr unverständiges Herz wurde verfinstert.
22 Da sie sich für weise hielten, sind sie zu Narren
geworden
23 und haben die Herrlichkeit12 des unvergänglichen
Gottes vertauscht mit einem Bild, das dem vergänglichen Menschen, den Vögeln
und vierfüßigen und kriechenden Tieren gleicht.
According to Paul…. Even the heathen see the truth but…..
They refuse to repent and cry out to God for forgiveness….. They are lying to
themselves….
Everyone alive knows that God exists......
Cornelius knew and began to seek the answers….. He had
come to believe in Judaism….. the God that he knew in his heart to be the
true God…… and so God began to work on him……
In the first 20 verses of Acts….. we saw the sovereign
call of God….. God prepared the heart of Cornelius…… Then in verses
21 to 33 that we just read…. we see
Cornelius willing submission to hear and obey the Commands of God…. Now all Cornelius needed to hear was the
simple proclamation of the Good News… God had
sovereignly done His work….. He was prepared soil……. All he needed was the seed
to be planted….. and here comes Peter…… Peter is God's chosen messenger to
reach out to Cornelius so that he might be saved and added to the church…… back
to Acts 10…. Look at verse 33…
Acts
10: 33 NKJV Sch 2000
33
So I sent to you immediately, and you have done well to come. Now therefore, we
are all present before God, to hear all the things commanded you by God.”
33 Da sandte ich auf der Stelle zu dir, und du hast wohl
daran getan zu kommen. So sind wir nun alle gegenwärtig vor dem Angesicht
Gottes, um alles zu hören, was dir von Gott aufgetragen ist!
He says, Peter, we are all here to listen…… Tell us please
what God wants us to know….. Here was a man who wanted salvation…… We come now to
verse 34….. Peter´s sermon…. It's short and simple ….. Let´s read it …. Acts
10…. V34….
Acts
10: 34- 43 NKJV
34
Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no
partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is
accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel,
preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know,
which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the
baptism which John preached: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. 39 And we are witnesses of all
things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they[e]
killed by hanging on a tree. 40 Him God raised up on the third day, and showed
Him openly, 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God,
even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. 42 And He
commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was
ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To Him all the
prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive
remission of sins.”
Acts 10: 34- 43 Sch 2000
34 Da tat Petrus den Mund auf und sprach: Nun erfahre ich
in Wahrheit, daß Gott die Person nicht ansieht,
35 sondern daß in jedem Volk derjenige ihm angenehm ist,
der ihn fürchtet und Gerechtigkeit übt!
36 Das Wort, das er den Kindern Israels gesandt hat,
indem er Frieden verkünden ließ durch Jesus Christus — welcher Herr über alle
ist —,
37 ihr kennt es; das Zeugnis, das sich durch ganz Judäa
verbreitet hat und in Galiläa anfing nach der Taufe, die Johannes verkündigte:
38 wie Gott Jesus von Nazareth mit Heiligem Geist und
Kraft gesalbt hat, und wie dieser umherzog und Gutes tat und alle heilte, die
vom Teufel überwältigt waren; denn Gott war mit ihm.
39 Und wir sind Zeugen alles dessen, was er im Land der
Juden und in Jerusalem getan hat. Ihn haben sie getötet, indem sie ihn ans
Holz4 hängten.
40 Diesen hat Gott auferweckt am dritten Tag und hat ihn
offenbar werden lassen,
41 nicht dem ganzen Volk, sondern uns, den von Gott
vorher erwählten Zeugen, die wir mit ihm gegessen und getrunken haben nach
seiner Auferstehung aus den Toten.
42 Und er hat uns geboten, dem Volk zu verkündigen und zu
bezeugen, daß Er der von Gott bestimmte Richter der Lebendigen und der Toten
ist.
43 Von diesem legen alle Propheten Zeugnis ab, daß jeder,
der an ihn glaubt, durch seinen Namen Vergebung der Sünden empfängt.
Verse 34…. "Then
Peter opened his mouth," and the Greek word here shows us that he was going
to say something very important….. Peter
said "I am beginning to understand,
that God is no respecter of persons." Peter had believed all his life…..
that God had a special love for Israel….. that because they were the chosen people…. God
had made Israel better than those gentiles…. this idea was firmly planted in the heart and mind
of the Jewish people… To minister to Gentiles was extremely difficult…..
God had begun to break down this kind of attitude….. You
see….. It was not difficult to imagine that Gentiles could be saved….. The
Children of Israel believed that anyone who wanted to come to the one true God
could but…… First they had to become faithful
converts to Judaism…… They had to submit themselves to the entire law of God…..
They had to be baptized and circumcised…… They had to become Jewish… or else
God would have nothing to do with them…… So when God tells Peter I have
cleansed them…… That was incredible…. A Gentile going straight to God without
first becoming Jewish? Peter is starting to get it but…. He´s obeying God
here…. It´s not that he totally understands…. For now all he knows is that this
is what Has told Him…. What I have
cleansed do not call common…. So He says…. I see that God is no respecter of
persons…
Paul uses the very same phrase in Romans
2:11, he says, "God is no respecter of persons….. That truth is not
new…… We see this all through the Old Testament…… God regards not men…. the Old
Testament says…… God is impartial…… He is willing to shower grace and mercy on
everyone who is willing to repent….. and cry out to him for forgiveness….
Peter's saying, "Cornelius, I know you're a Gentile….. But I have Good News for you….. Salvation is available to you too….
That's the first point for us to consider this morning…. I don't care who you are….. Salvation
is available…… Let´s go back to Romans….ch1… up a few verses to v.16….
Romans
1: 16,17 NKJV Sch 2000
16 For
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to
salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is
written, “The just shall live by faith.
16 Denn ich schäme mich des Evangeliums von Christus
nicht; denn es ist Gottes Kraft zur Errettung für jeden, der glaubt, zuerst für
den Juden, dann auch für den Griechen;
17 denn es wird darin geoffenbart die Gerechtigkeit Gottes
aus Glauben zum Glauben, wie geschrieben steht: »Der Gerechte wird aus Glauben
leben«.
Salvation to everyone that believes…. Good News…. The Gospel is for all men…… back to Acts
10…v35…
It's
not for only the Jews…. It's for all men
everywhere who respond in genuine repentance and faith…
Acts
10:35,36 NKJV Sch 2000
35
But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by
Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace
through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
35 sondern daß in jedem Volk derjenige ihm angenehm ist,
der ihn fürchtet und Gerechtigkeit übt!
36 Das Wort, das er den Kindern Israels gesandt hat,
indem er Frieden verkünden ließ durch Jesus Christus — welcher Herr über alle
ist —,
Now, this verse is not saying you're saved by works…..
Paul explains this well in Romans 2… What
it means when it says….. is accepted with Him….. is that God looks favorably on
him….. Romans 2…v 14….
Romans
2: 14-16 NLT
14
for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law,
these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the
work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness,
and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the
day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my
gospel.
Romans 2: 14-16 Neues Leben
14 Wenn sogar Menschen, die Gottes geschriebenes Gesetz
nicht haben, unbewusst so handeln, wie es das Gesetz vorschreibt, so beweist
das, dass sie in ihren Herzen Recht von Unrecht unterscheiden können.
15 Durch ihr Verhalten zeigen sie, dass Gottes Gesetz in
ihr Herz geschrieben ist, denn ihr eigenes Gewissen und ihre Gedanken klagen
sie entweder an oder bestätigen, dass sie das Richtige tun.
16 Und dies alles wird sichtbar an dem Tag, an dem Gott
durch Jesus Christus alles richten wird, auch das, was bei den Menschen
verborgen ist. Das ist meine Botschaft, die mir Gott gegeben hat.
In v 14…. Paul
says…. When a gentile obeys his or her conscience…… They are obeying God from
their hearts…. Even though they do not have total knowledge and understanding
of God´s plan of redemption…… When that is true… Then God himself sends the
person more light….. Someone proclaims the Good News to them…….
From Romans ch 1 and 2…. We understand some general
things about all people…. Anyone who can look at the world and not see God
isn't looking very closely…. The
testimony of Scripture is that the creation testifies to God´s eternal power
and existence… Not only that … But men have the knowledge of God built into their
conscience…. They have no excuse….
Cornelius was a good man….. He feared God and tried to do
the right thing….. He was careful to listen to his conscience….. but he was not saved….. Acts 11…
All men are lost
and without hope without the Lord Jesus Christ…. We need a Savior…. Jesus is a willing Savior….. God the Father
is himself by nature a Savoir…. A
redeemer….. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son….
When man sinned, he fell away from God….. all humanity……
and when he fell away he found himself condemned to die because of his sin and
willful rebellion…. Jesus Christ left His home in glory…. came to this world…..
became a man and gave his life for us…
He
is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the World… Jesus Christ is the only way to reconciliation
with God…… I don't care how good you are…..you're still lost in
your sins…. Only Jesus can help you! God will always meet the seeking heart…..
Cornelius is ready; and Peter says, "Salvation's available!
It's not only available…. salvation is in Christ….. and so Peter begins
to preach about Christ…..
Now what is he saying here?
"This is the
message from God to all…… You can be at peace with God! It´s Jesus…. He is LORD
of All….
God has spoken! He
speaks to us in our world... Hebrews…ch 1… v2….
Hebrews
1:1-3 NLT
1
Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the
prophets. 2 And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son.
God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he
created the universe. 3 The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very
character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his
command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of
honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.
Hebrews 1:1-3 Neues Leben
1 Vor
langer Zeit hat Gott oft und auf verschiedene Weise durch die Propheten zu
unseren Vorfahren gesprochen,
2 doch in diesen letzten Tagen sprach er durch seinen
Sohn zu uns. Durch ihn hat er das ganze Universum und alles, was darin ist,
geschaffen, und er hat ihn zum Erben über alles eingesetzt.
3 Der Sohn spiegelt die Herrlichkeit Gottes wider, und
alles an ihm ist ein Ausdruck des Wesens Gottes. Er erhält das Universum durch
die Macht seines Wortes. Nachdem er uns durch seinen Tod von unseren Sünden
gereinigt hat, setzte er sich auf den Ehrenplatz an der rechten Seite des
herrlichen Gottes im Himmel.
He spoke in the scriptures…. and in these last days….. He
has spoken unto us by His Son….. God spoke in the Scriptures….. and He has
spoken most powerfully in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ….. What did He
say? What did God say?
Look
at verse 36…..
Acts 10: 36 NKJV Sch 2000
36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel,
preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
36 Das Wort, das er den Kindern
Israels gesandt hat, indem er Frieden verkünden ließ durch Jesus Christus —
welcher Herr über alle ist —,
God chose Israel to be a witness to the world…. to say…. "There
is peace by Jesus Christ." Man is at war with God….. You're born into
this world in conflict with God because of sin and rebellion…. God
revealed His will in the scriptures….. His will was that men find peace by
being reconciled to God through the Lord Jesus…The Bible says there is no peace
for the wicked…..
Mankind is born in sin…... He is in rebellion to the
moral law of God….. because of that…. he is not at peace with God…. and he's
not at peace with himself……
God bursts into our world…. and He says, "I have a message, and my
message is peace…… God offers
reconciliation with Himself a sinful and rebellious world….
God offers forgiveness… and mercy to people
who do not deserve it…. People like you and me… Absolutely revolutionary….. Total transformation….
That's God's message to the world….
Why does a man want to live in rebellion against God when
he can have peace with God?
Turn to 2
Corinthians chapter 5….v18….
2
Corinthians 5: 18,19 NKJV Sch 2000
18
Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus
Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God
was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses
to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
18 Das alles aber [kommt] von Gott, der uns mit sich
selbst versöhnt hat durch Jesus Christus und uns den Dienst der Versöhnung
gegeben hat;
19 weil nämlich Gott in Christus war und die Welt mit
sich selbst versöhnte, indem er ihnen ihre Sünden nicht anrechnete und das Wort
der Versöhnung in uns legte.
In other words God Himself in His Sovereignty…… Has made peace with us…… We were cut off and
condemned because of our sin and rebellion…… He reached down and reconciled us
through the LORD JESUS CHRIST….
How does a Holy and righteous God forgive sinners? By not
imputing their trespasses unto them…..
Do you see what God did? God took care of our sins in
Christ…. therefore, we can have peace with Him…..
When we come to Christ, the righteousness of Christ
becomes ours….. and we're at peace with God……. Even though we still sin……. it's
covered by the blood of Christ…… It's forgiven instantly and cleansed…… and
it's as if it isn't there….. and the Lord says, "I will remember it no
more."
And so the message is peace with God……. and here in his
letter to the Corinthians… Paul went on
to say….. That´s God´s message….He reconciled us…. And That's our message to
you….. We beg you, be at peace with God…. reconciliation is available….. Stop
running… stop pretending….. Repent the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand…..
Back to Acts 10…v
36…
Acts
10: 36 NKJV Sch 2000
36
The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through
Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—
36 Das Wort, das er den Kindern
Israels gesandt hat, indem er Frieden verkünden ließ durch Jesus Christus —
welcher Herr über alle ist —,
God here is the real preacher….. " He's the real witness…… Like Paul…. Peter
says, "I'm just repeating what He said…… I love that statement at the end
of verse….
"He
is Lord of all."
You know what that means?
He's
not a man…… He's Lord…… Not only that….. He's Lord of all…… which means that
there is no other Lord……
verse 37 Peter says….
You know this…. because the Good
News about Jesus spread everywhere….
you've heard the Word……
Here we are today……
You know about Jesus Christ…… You wouldn't be here if you have never heard
about Jesus…. Some of you are just fans of Jesus…. Religious…. Maybe very spiritual….
But not genuine believers….. The question is will you repent and believe the
Good News…
verse
38….
Acts
10: 38 NKJV Sch 2000
38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who
went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God
was with Him.
38 wie Gott Jesus von Nazareth mit Heiligem Geist und
Kraft gesalbt hat, und wie dieser umherzog und Gutes tat und alle heilte, die
vom Teufel überwältigt waren; denn Gott war mit ihm.
"How
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power."
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and
with power…. Now what did He do in His ministry on earth? He went about doing good……
verse
42…..
Acts
10:42,43 NKJV Sch 2000
42
And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who
was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead. 43 To Him all the
prophets witness that, through His name, whoever believes in Him will receive
remission of sins.”
42 Und er hat uns geboten, dem Volk zu verkündigen und zu
bezeugen, daß Er der von Gott bestimmte Richter der Lebendigen und der Toten
ist.
43 Von diesem legen alle Propheten Zeugnis ab, daß jeder,
der an ihn glaubt, durch seinen Namen Vergebung der Sünden empfängt.
Peter said…..If He's not your savior… He'll be your Judge….. Take your choice…… Peter has
made 3 simple points…. 1 Salvation is
available……. 2 Salvation is in Jesus Christ…… Here's the invitation…… 3 Salvation is by faith...
1
Salvation is available to everyone…….
2
Salvation is in Jesus Christ……
3
Salvation is by faith...
We
see this in verse 43…
verse
43...To Him give all the prophets witness."
The Old Testament testimony, we're speaking of Christ, "That through His name whosoever believeth
in Him, Jew or Gentile, rich or poor, shall receive remission of sins."
Remission means forgiveness……. The only
thing that can allow God to receive us is forgiveness……. and forgiveness comes
when we repent and believe……
Close
turn to Romans 10…v1…
Romans
10: 1-4 NKJV
1
Dear brothers and sisters, the longing of my heart and my prayer to God is for
the people of Israel to be saved. 2 I know what enthusiasm they have for God,
but it is misdirected zeal. 3 For they don’t understand God’s way of making
people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their
own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law. 4 For Christ has
already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all
who believe in him are made right with God.
Romans 10: 1-4 Sch 2000
1 Liebe
Freunde, ich sehne mich von Herzen danach und bete zu Gott, dass das jüdische
Volk gerettet wird.
2 Ich kann bezeugen, mit welcher Hingabe sie Gott dienen,
aber es fehlt ihnen die richtige Erkenntnis.
3 Denn sie haben nicht erkannt, auf welche Weise Gott die
Menschen gerecht erklärt. Stattdessen gehen sie ihren eigenen Weg, indem sie
versuchen das Gesetz zu halten, um dadurch die Anerkennung Gottes zu gewinnen.
Damit lehnen sie den Weg Gottes ab.
4 Denn mit Christus ist die Absicht des Gesetzes
vollkommen erfüllt. Wer
an ihn glaubt, wird vor Gott gerecht gesprochen.
Whosoever believes and cries out for mercy and
forgiveness…. will receive forgiveness…. Salvation is available to everybody who comes…..
It's in the Lord Jesus Christ…… It's by grace through faith…… You say,
"It's just a matter of believing?" Yes. Paul said in this same
chapter…
Romans
10: 9.10 NKJV Sch 2000
9 If
you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in
your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your
mouth that you are saved.
9 Wenn du mit deinem Mund bekennst, dass Jesus der Herr
ist, und wenn du in deinem Herzen glaubst, dass Gott ihn von den Toten
auferweckt hat, wirst du gerettet werden.
10 Denn durch den Glauben in deinem Herzen wirst du vor
Gott gerecht, und durch das Bekenntnis deines Mundes wirst du gerettet.
Do you believe this morning? Do you believe Jesus died on
the cross for you….. That he bore your sin? Do you believe He rose from the
dead to give you life? If you believe that…. Then cry out to him now… Lord Jesus forgive me and wash me clean…. and
He will do it…. Then this will be the
first day of the rest of your life…..
Let's pray.
