Acts 3:8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and LEAPING, and praising God. ACTS 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
Acts 3:19 and Matthew 3:8 is talking about true repentance which is turning from sin to God. I don't follow after sin now but being in the flesh I am surely not sinless. My salvation is secure in Christ but my peace and joy come from keeping sin confessed and seeking the Lord for grace to overcome. Sin is no longer imputed to me as a child of God. Romans 4:2-8. God chastens us in mercy when we sin
If you don't have the Holy Spirit, you are lacking power. Your statement is false and misleading to suggest the church of today doesn't have any power. Is the Holy Spirit dwelling on the inside of you? Make it a priority in your life and you will see all things differently.
The following verses make it clear that to be saved we must accept JESUS CHRIST as our LORD AND SAVIOR. John 3:16John 1:12John 14:61John 4:10Romans 3:10Romans 3:23Romans 6:23Romans 10:9-11Acts 3:19Acts 16:311John 1:9John 3:36Galatians 2:162Corinthians 5:17Philippians 4:3
There remains power in the name of Jesus. It is thru our faith,study,And obedience thAt the power of Jesus is manifested I our lives. When our church stray from these principles then yes we lack the power.
The Church can no longer say Gold and Silver have I none, but it also can't say in the name of Jesus Christ rise up and walk. The Church of today has NO power!
Hello, well I believe that Peter was known as a common man throughout the region. infact he was average. thus they could not fathom how "the average man" could have such authority over principalities of that nature.
Jesus on the other hand had gathered great fame and was perceived by many to be a prophet. An other reason would be that Jesus is Christ and His own people would not accept Him.
Rebeka if people want to sin they can believe a lie with miracles happening right in front of their eyes. "2 Thes. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." If God didn't make it this way we wouldn't see evil as a choice. God wants voluntary praise.
Why did the people marvel that Peter healed the lame man? Christ healed many people and they called him unspeakable things for his miracles. But when Peter healed the lame man they stood in awe of him. Why is that?
It means in Acts 3:18 That Jesus the son of God was to be beat and killed for all the world sin which we all have because the sin of Adam and Eve in Genisis from the beginning of the world and Jesus took on our sins willingly for us to be able to go to heaven and his prophets were disciples that taught people the word of God to be fullfilled in the world so that Jesus would come back
Hi Tina; "But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled." Evil men can have no power to do anything they imagine except God gives it to them. God knows and understands all things, and moves them for His purposes. In the story of Joseph, he told his brothers, "ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good.."
Murderer is mentioned 20 times in the KJV Bible. Numbers 35:16- 35:17- 35:18- 35:19-35:21- 35:30- 35:31 2 Kings 6:32- Job 24:14- Hosea 9:13- John 8:44- Acts 3:14- Acts 28:4 - 1 Peter 4:15- and 1 John 3:15 says, Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
Psalms 91 is the assurance of Gods protection, His love and His promise. God is Awesome, and I'm grateful for who He Is. There is POWER in the name of Jesus. Healing occurred in His name Acts 3:6, 3:16, 4:10 . Salvation comes in His name Acts 4:12, Rom. 10:13 . We are baptized in His name, Everything we do and say is done in his name. Pray in His name. Blessings2All
Ray;"But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; and killed the Prince of life, WHOM GOD RAISED FROM THE DEAD; whereof we are witnesses." Why do you think you have to find fault with the Apostle Peter? Peter was greatly loved and appointed by Jesus!
Acts 3:14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you. What's interesting is how Peter told the Jews how badly they murder Jesus , but never said anything about the resurrection of the Body of Jesus in detail. Also never said anything about Jesus being the Body of the Church. We will find later who Jesus tells about the Body of the Church .
Verse 18 tells us what Christ fullfilled. The things which were written of him that he should suffer. That is what the prophets wrote about him not that he would abolish the law of God. I always hear people say Christ fulfilled the law and now we don't have to keep the law. That is a lie! We must keep the law of God. We don't have to sacrifice anymore because Christ is our sacrifice for sin.
V.7 - this healing was a 'miracle'; a miracle healing is instant. Most healings are - just 'normal' ones, BUT - they are healings from Jesus. People may say, the meds healed me. But - meds have no power of their own; ALL power is of Jesus; His is the power in the meds. Jesus healed me of flu/pneumonia recently, but it wasn't a miracle; it took 3wks. with meds and the hosp. But- Jesus did the work.
Jesus on the other hand had gathered great fame and was perceived by many to be a prophet. An other reason would be that Jesus is Christ and His own people would not accept Him.
