From Genesis to the book of Revelations

In our short time together we are going to highlightThree VOICES of the New Testament which are:

1] The voice of John the Baptist 2] The voice of Jesus Christ 3] The voice of the first early Church

ALL 3 VOICES TAUGHT THE SAME METHOD: 1] REPENTANCE {because sin separates us from God} 2] Water baptism { for the remission of sins.} 3] The baptism of the Holy Ghost {The Spirit of Christ within us}

We see the same method used in the Old Testament such as

IN THE DAYS OF NOAH AND THE ARK!

Noah was a Preacher of Righteousness

• God’s plan of salvation is an open door to all!• • 1Peter 3: Vs. 20b …”God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a• preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. Vs. 21,• “The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the• putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience• toward God) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: . 2 Peter 2:5, Says, “And spared not the old world, but saved• Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the• flood upon the world of the ungodly.” Peter asked, “And if the righteous• scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinners appear.” Also, ”what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?”

1 Peter 4:17, and vs.18,

Believe, RECEIVE, AND OBEY the scriptures as it is written! Get in THE ARK OF SAFETY ……… THE DOOR IS OPEN

A COMMON LIST OF BIBLICAL SINS In Galatians 5:16 and 19, Says, “…Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the Flesh.”… “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; 1] Adultery, [extra marital sex] Read Leviticus 20: 10-13, 2] Fornication, [sex before marriage] Read Romans 1: 24-32, 3] Murder, [ includes suicide and abortion] Read Galatians 5: 16-21, 4] SAME SEX MARRIGE, Read Romans 1: Vs. 25-28, Also, Leviticus 20: 13, TODAY, SIN IS NOW CALLED A LIFE STYLE AND MURDER IS CALLED A CHOICE! We need a Christ like spirit as seen in St. John 8:1-11, Here’s the story as told.The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus and said,… “Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what do you say?...Jesus said unto them, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” Vs.9, “And they which heard it, being CONVICTED OF THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE, went out one by one,…Vs.10, “Jesus asked, “woman, where are thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, “No man Lord.” and Jesus said unto her, “NEITHER DO I CONDEMN THEE: GO AND SIN NO MORE!”

Additional list of Biblical sins found in the New and Old Testament.

• JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING

Romans 1: 32, “Who knowing the judgment of God,That they which commit such things are worthy of Death,…” Romans 6: 23, “ For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God

is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 5: 12, Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed on upon all men, for that all have sinned:

GOD’S REMEDYRomans 6: 17, Paul wrote, “But God be thanked, thatyou were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed fromthe heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.Being made free from sin, you became the servants ofrighteousness.” POINT: When we repent of our sins we areno longer servants of sin, but a servant of righteousness! GOD’S SIMPLE PLAN OF SALVATION:Acts 2: 38,…Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in theNAME of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall

receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

Malachi 3: 8-9, “Will a man rob God?..Wherein have we robbed thee?IN TITHES AND OFFERINGS.Romans 1: 29, “Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wicked-ness, covetousness, maliciousness:Full of envy, murder, debate, whisperers, backbiters, despiteful, etc.Galatians 5: 19-21,(works of the flesh)Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, wrath, strife, seditions, etc.Revelations 21: 7-8, He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Vs. 8, “But the fearful, and un-believing, and the abominable, …and all liars, shall have their part in [hell]which is the second death.

OUR NEW LIFE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD !• What is the kingdom of God? Paul wrote in Romans 14: 17, “For the kingdom God is not• meat and drink; but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Verse 18, “For he • that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.” • Jesus said in Luke 12: 29-31, “Seek not what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, neither• be of doubtful mind. “For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your• Father knows that you have need of these things. “But rather seek you the kingdom of God; And all these things shall be added unto you.”

A GOOD ILLUSTATION TO THINK ABOUT WHEN CONSIDERING THE KINGDOM OF GOD . • Jesus said, “I am with you, but I shall be in you.” It’s like taking a sandwich with you for

lunch.• IT’S WITH YOU, but not IN YOU until you get it on the inside. • THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU when you become Spirit filled.

HOW CAN I ?10

What does it mean to be Spirit filled?

Jesus said, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN!

In John 3: verse 5, Jesus said, “Except a manbe born of water and of the Spirit, he cannotenter the kingdom of God.” vs. 6 “That whichis born of the flesh is flesh; { natural birth}And that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”Verse 7, “Marvel not that I said unto you, “ YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN” Jesus told how In John chapter 3: verse 8,Jesus said, “The wind blows where it desiresand you hear the sound thereof, but cannottell where it comes from, and where it goes:

SO IS EVERYONE THAT IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT!

How the Holy Spirit came in Acts 2: 2-4, On the day of Pentecost in Jerusalem.

“ And suddenly there came a sound fromHeaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.”

“And there appeared unto them cloventongues like as fire, and it sat upon each of them.” “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” THE NEW BIRTH IS CHRIST ABIDING WITHIN US through the baptism of the Holy Spirit!

THE MESSAGE

• HERE’S THE ANSWER. • > Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, “Repent , and• be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for

the remission of sins, and you shall receivethe gift of the Holy Ghost.” 39,… the promise is unto you… >Acts 8:14-17, “Now when the apostles which were at

Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word• of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: “• “Who, when they came down, prayed for them, that • they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was• fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the

name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands• on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.”• >Acts 10: 1-48 “The door to the Gentiles” • [Is covered in the next slide in STORY form ]• >Acts 19: 1-7, The apostle Paul opened conversation• With a question, “Have you received the Holy Ghost since

you believed?” {most people haven’t heard} >Paul preached to them the same message as taught

• by the first early church in the beginning > Acts 2:38<

ACTS CHAPTER 2: 14-37,Peter was chosen by Jesus Christ topreach the first message to his church.He ended his message by saying, “ThisJesus hath God raised up, whereof weare all witnesses” … “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same JESUS,whom you have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” [verse 32 and 36]37, “Now when they heard this, theywere pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, [QUESTION] “Men and brethren, WHAT SHALL WE DO?” {to be saved}

WHAT WAS HIS ANSWER?

THE OPEN DOOR TO THE GENTILES•I love the story of Cornelius found in Acts chapter 10: It took place 9 years later•after the birth of the first early church in the upper room. [see Acts chapter 2] Cornelius was a devout man, feared God, …and prayed to God always. Point 1: Any church today would welcome Him in to worship with them!•An angel sent by God told him to go get the Apostle Peter and he shall tell you •what to do. {like us, he was doing all that he knew to do, so he sent for Peter}•Point 2: Cornelius KNEW that there was MORE for him, his family and friends. • I love what Cornelius said to Peter when he came in verse 33, “Now therefore are•we all here before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.”•Point 3: His heart was open to receive the preaching of the word and be saved.•Peter said,…”God is no respecter of persons: But in EVERY NATION he that fears•Him, and works righteousness, is accepted with him.” •While Peter preached the gospel, God poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak in tongues and magnify God. “And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. {Jesus Christ} [See Acts 10: 44-48} Point 4: In Acts 11:15, The church in Jerusalem questioned Peter why he went unto the Gentiles? Peter answered, God sent me through a vision, “And as I began to speak the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.”

THE DOOR TO GENTILES WAS OPENED AS IT WAS IN NOAHS’ DAY

13

“I have set before you an open door! Revelations 3:8, Point: Just like Noah stood at the open door Like wise, Jesus Christ stands at an open door inviting us in. We have a choice to go in and see allGod has prepare for those that LOVE Him.

John 3: 16 says, “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLDTHAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON…” We know that God loves and cares for us, the questionIs, HOW MUCH DO WE LOVE GOD? Jesus said, If you love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15, [we show our love through our obedience] OPEN YOUR HEART WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR BIBLE.

14

IN CONCLUSION: The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10: 13-17, “For whosoever shall call on the NAME of

the Lord shall be saved.” {then he asks an important question} “How then shall they

call on him in whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How beautiful are the

feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

But they have not all OBEYED THE GOSPEL. For Isaiah said, “Lord, Who hath believed

our report?” “ So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY the WORD OF GOD.”

Paul wrote to his son Timothy [in the Lord] “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my

course, I have KEPTED THE FAITH:” 2 Timothy 4: 7,

LET’S ALL BECOME FAITH KEEPERS !
