Notes:

 

Acts 2:  As Peter spoke the message, many were convicted in their heart.

 

He said

 

Act. 2:37,39 → The conclusion was to repent and be baptized.  That was the conclusion of Peter’s sermon.

 

Rom. 8:8 → If we follow our desired, we cannot please God.

 

John 21:18

 

Rom. 8:9 → We are no longer ruled by our desired, but by God’s spirit.  When we have God’s spirit, we are no longer condemned.

 

This requires a monumental change of direction.

 

The apostles grew monumentally because they had God’s spirit.

 

Isa. 30:21 → God’s spirit will enlighten us and we won’t stumble.

 

The is the broadway and narrow.

 

Psalm 119:105 → By God’s spirit, we can follow His path.

 

Jer. 31:33 → I will write the Laws on their heart.

 

Rom. 12:1 → Present your body has a living sacrifice.  God doesn’t require more of us than we are able to give.  God wants our heart.

 

v. 2 → Do not be conformed to this world.  Be transformed into God’s image, this takes renewing of our mind by using God’s spirit.

 

We can have immense knowledge, but lacking God’s spirit.

 

2 Cor. 5:17 → There is a new creation -- we are in the process of changing and growing.  We no longer look at it from a carnal way.

 

Eph. 2:1 → We were dead and living in sin and were subject to God’s anger before He called us.  

 

Matt. 18:3 → Unless we change and become like children.

 

Acts 3:19 → Repent so that your sins may be blotted out.

 

God’s spirit will be made for everyone at one day, but today is celebrating first fruits - God is eagerly looking to who will be in His family.

 

When God called us, we were handpicked - it wasn’t an accident.  He is looking forward to reaping this harvest.

 

Phil. 3:20-21 → He will be changed into glorious bodies like Jesus Christ.
