Information Versus Conviction. Part [1] 09/16/2023 (Evening thought)

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

The topic which we will address today is one that is to be clearly understood, especially in the context of the work of the Gospel being carried to all people of the earth in these last days of history. The good news of God’s soon coming kingdom is to be preached, and all the instructions, principles, and laws of Christ’s kingdom should be shared with those we come in contact with, because every Christian is called to take up the mantle of service, as is given in the great commission.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

After coming to know The Lord, He bids us go, and let others know, the things of the kingdom, with all of its precepts and promises Jesus bids us to preach and live by. But in going to preach, teach, or give Bible studies, we are to understand that there is a huge difference between giving out information, and the conviction of conscience that only the Holy Ghost can bring.

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 ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
