Sunday School Times Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brothers… 1. Men must be pricked in their heart before they can have the joy of salvation in their heart. 2. The conditions of salvation — how easy! Salvation has only to be accepted. 3. The conditions of salvation — how hard! Each one must repent; that is, turn from his sin; and that is no easy matter. 4. Salvation is accompanied with the gift of the Holy Spirit. Without His help, no one could conquer sin. 5. The promise of salvation and the help of the Holy Spirit is to all men of all peoples. 6. The promise of salvation is a family covenant, extending through the father to the children. 7. The exhortation, now as ever, is: "Save yourselves from this crooked generation." (Sunday School Times.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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? |
