What must I do ...?

This question was asked after the first sermon and is still an important question today.

• Hear the Gospel-Acts 15:7

• Believe the Gospel-Mark 16:15-16

• Repent of Sins-Acts 17:30

• Confess Christ-Romans 10:9-10

• Be Baptized for the Remission of Sins-Acts 2:38

• Be Faithful unto Death Revelation 2:10

 Read Acts 1 & 2 to learn about more about this...

 After Jesus's death, burial and resurrection, our Lord promised the apostles that the Holy Spirit would come upon them so that they

would be able to spread the Gospel to all the world.(Acts 1:1-13) The Holy Spirit did come to those in the "upper room" on the day of

Pentecost. This was an important Jewish holy day and there were many Jews in Jerusalem from many nations. (Acts 2:1-5) Those

receiving the Holy Spirit began to speak in the languages of the people gathered around. This was amazing to those witnessing this event.

Many wondered how these men of Galilee were able to speak in so many different languages (Acts 2:6- 13). Peter rose up and spoke to

the crowd gathered there. He then began to preach the first sermon to convince people that Jesus was both Lord and Christ. (Acts

2:14-36). The people responded by asking a very important question, "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and

said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?" Peter's answer was simply, "Repent, and be baptized

every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is

unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." (Acts 2:38-39) The bible tells us

in Acts 2:41 that 3000 people were baptized on that day.

 **Note: If you read Acts 1-2 you'll notice that in

Acts 1:13-26 we learn what happened to Judas and how his replacement was chosen.
