The Gift of the Holy Spirit
June 4, 2017
Acts 2:36-41 (ESV)
36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Here We Still Stand: The Gift of the Holy Spirit
Acts 2:36-41
When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:37-38 (NIV)
What we cannot do.
- The gift of repentance (Acts 2:37-38; 1 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6)
- The gift of forgiveness (Acts 2:38)
- The gift of salvation (Acts 2:21, 40-41; 1 Timothy 2:4; John 16:13; 1 Corinthians 12:3; Titus 3:5)
