Sunday Sermon 9/7/2025 The Gospel According to Peter - Acts Chapter 2

Peter didn’t write one of the four gospels in our Bible, but did write two epistles and he did speak the gospel in that precedent setting Acts Chapter Two. If today’s church is to model itself according to the Bible it must always include the gospel of Christ that Peter preached here in its simplest form ever. Only the gospel of Christ produces salvation for it is “the power of God unto salvation.” (Rm.1:16) This is the Good News in its purest form.

In Acts 2:17-21 Peter gives us an exposition of the Last Days. In the last chapter I gave an overview of the Last Days, which includes the Life of Jesus on the earth, the outpouring of the Spirit which produced the Church Age in which we are still living (v.17-18). It also includes the Great Tribulation (v.19-20) before the Second Coming of Jesus and His Millenium Kingdom on the earth. He finishes his quote from the Prophet Joel with the good news that “whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (v.21)

The gospel always assumes that everyone is lost to God and needs to be rescued. Why is that? Because “All have sinned and the wages of sin is being dead to God.” If you realize you are “without Christ, having no hope and without God in the world” (Eph.2:12) you know you need to be saved from your sins. The good news is “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Who is the Lord he is talking about and what is His name? Peter tells us. This is the gospel by which we are saved. There is no other gospel of forgiveness by God with the power to forever change your life and eternal destiny. There is “no other name given to me by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
