Acts 2:41 Those who accepted his message

Acts 2:41

Those who accepted his message were baptised, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

3,000 people signed up on that day. Why?

1. They understood the Church and what it was doing, v11.
2. They saw an imperfect man communicate effectively, v14.
3. They heard that behind everything lay God, v17-19.
4. They connected end-time stuff with present day reality, v18-20.
5. They were encouraged by whatever the mess there is a Saviour, v21.
6. They were challenged over the person of Christ, v21.
7. They were taken to the cross and the empty tomb, v23-24.
8. They applied the work of Christ into their present struggle, v25.
9. They desired the joy demonstrated to them, v28.
10. They were moved by confident persuasion, v29.
11. They were listening to witnesses not theorists, v32.
12. They positioned themselves to see the position of Christ,
13. They were cut by the convicting word, v36-37.
14. They saw the word was transferable to the next generation, v39.
15. They were warned, this was not a lightweight message, v40.

May the Church today present those 15 things and may we see a revival of 3,000 added in a day in one place to the kingdom of God!
