In Acts chapter 2, we are given the first Christian witness. Jesus said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses. . .” (Acts 1:8). Peter’s Pentecostal address was both a sermon and a witness. We discover principles for our witness for Jesus in these verses.
- Principle #1: Let the Scripture do the job, vv. 17-21.
- Principle #2: Point people to Jesus, vv. 22-36.
- Principle #3: Be sensitive to the Spirit’s work, v. 37.
How does one answer the question of “what shall we do?”
- Testimony of lips
- 3-fold content, vv. 38-41
- Testimony of life
- 3-fold action, vv. 42-47
The testimony of our life gives us the platform to share the testimony of our lips.
