S. 16
Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized
with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.17 Forasmuch then as
God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus
Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?18 When they heard these things,
they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the
Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
O. Peter
continues to tell the leaders in Jerusalem of the Holy Ghost outpouring. The
leaders accept the Gentiles into the household of believers (church).
A. This
is how God removed the barriers between different cultures and peoples. We come
together into a new body of believers…..God calls us his church….We are all
made equal in his sight through repentance.
P. Father;
Help me to build my own faith and the faith of others and welcome everyone into
your body (church) by repentance regardless of their culture. Amen.
