2. Acts Chapter 2 Viewed from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit

Preface

The Acts of the Apostles is not the process of the gospel advancing, but the word recording how the word of the gospel of salvation that Jesus Christ already accomplished was proclaimed through the mouths and faith of the apostles. From this perspective, the Acts of the Apostles testifies from beginning to end to what kind of gospel the apostles believed and preached. The starting point of the Acts of the Apostles lies in Jesus resurrecting from the death of the Cross, appearing to His disciples, and commanding them to preach the already fulfilled gospel of the water and the Spirit. At that time, the disciples became those who were appointed to testify to the gospel. The word of Jesus telling them to wait for “the Promise of the Father” was the word fulfilling the word of the Old Testament prophecy of the prophet Joel. The descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost indicates not the day salvation began, but the day the already completed salvation began to be publicly proclaimed. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

1. Acts Chapter 1 Viewed from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit

Acts Chapter 1 testifies that it was not simply the Word of God announcing the start of God’s church, but a decisive turning point showing how the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which Jesus Christ already completed, is being witnessed within the early church. This chapter is not speaking of a new truth of salvation, but is dealing with the spiritual preparation process to preach the already fulfilled gospel of salvation to the whole world. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

2. Acts Chapter 2 Viewed from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit

Acts Chapter 2 is commonly understood only as the event of the descent of the Holy Spirit, but the center of what the Bible speaks is not the experience of the Holy Spirit itself, but the scene where the gospel of the water and the Spirit was revealed in history for the first time. This chapter records not the day when salvation began, but the day when the word of the already completed salvation was testified before the world. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

3. Acts Chapter 3 Viewed from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit

Acts Chapter 3 is not merely for the purpose of testing the power of the Holy Spirit, but it shows how the already completed ‘gospel of the water and the Spirit’ is applied and testified within the actual life of a human being and the history of Israel. This Chapter 3 became a scene showing whether the word of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which caused sin and curse to end, saved a sinner from helplessness.   https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]

4. Acts Chapter 4 Viewed from the Perspective of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit

Acts Chapter 4 does not stay in the emotional scene called being filled with the Holy Spirit, but shows the historical moment where the faith believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit collides head-on with public authority and religious authority for the first time. This chapter shows us what kind of attitude the gospel of the water and the Spirit, in which the problem of sin is already resolved, produces in front of the threat of the world. https://www.bjnewlife.org/ [https://www.bjnewlife.org/] https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission [https://youtube.com/@TheNewLifeMission] https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35 [https://www.facebook.com/shin.john.35]
