Gospel Meeting 04/02/2018

The Acts of the Apostles ch13 vs13 – 43.

This was Paul’s sermon given in the synagogue at Antioch, Pisidia, (now Turkey).

What a subject he chose – Jesus Christ, God’s promised Saviour!

The whole Bible from beginning to end concerns God’s love for His creation and the sending of a Saviour.

 Paul outlined the history of Israel, which was in preparation for the coming of Jesus Christ.

Though Israel was continually rebellious, God was sure and faithful in sending the long – promised Saviour of sinners.

No ruler, king or anyone else could do what The Lord Jesus Christ did!

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” 

– Luke’s Gospel ch2 vs11.

God’s plan for Salvation, known even before the foundations of the world, had now arrived in the birth of His Son!

No amount of “religion”, or any teacher, ever saved anyone, but this Man is able to save everyone who will come to Him in repentance and faith.

“…What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he…” – Matthew’s Gospel ch22 vs42.

How will you answer this question tonight?

We all need a Saviour, and God provided Him in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Being saved from the penalty of our sins – an eternity in hell – is the most important thing that can ever happen to you!

Friend, can you say tonight that He is your Saviour?

It is an incredible thing to be a Christian, to have a real change of heart and life!

Ask this most wonderful man to be your personal Lord and Saviour tonight – He is willing and waiting to save you!

Despite Israel rejecting Him, and mankind’s disbelief, God provided The Saviour.

Jesus Christ was holy, pure and sinless. He gave His life at The Cross as a sacrifice for the sins of everybody, taking our punishment on Himself. He arose justified!

“But God raised him from the dead” – vs30.

“…Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen…”

- Luke’s Gospel ch24 vs5 – 6.

History was forever changed at Calvary!

Jesus Christ is unique. He is the Lord of Glory!

vs38 – “Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins”

- just what every human being needs!

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”        

 - Romans ch6 vs23.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him”. – 2^nd Corinthians ch5 vs21.

We have a wonderful God and a wonderful Saviour.

If we still have our sins unforgiven, they are a crushing burden upon us, taking us to a lost eternity separated from God, in that most awful place called Hell.

Friend, if you have not yet done so, please make sure that tonight you come from certain death into certain life, through The Lord Jesus Christ.

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”.

- Romans ch10 vs17.

Embrace it – say this is for me! Have all your sins washed away for ever by the blood of Christ, and a home awaiting you in Heaven – with Him, the one who loved you and gave Himself for you.
