Devotion - Acts 2:40 (NKJV)

"And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation."

“And with many other words…”

It is with great distinction to know that there a many biblical roads that lead to the cross of Christ. I think it is of great importance that we take notice of the two fundamental concepts held tightly by Peter as he preached his heart out…his words testified of Christ and exhorted them to do something about the saving knowledge that they were now given. To all that would share the gospel in an evangelistic setting this is a great base for all preparation. It is wiser for us to use our words and our intelligence in a way that testifies of whom Christ is and what He has done…and then encourage, exhort, and beseech others to make a choice to who they will serve. Biblical application is great for the church and for those who’ve made commitments towards serving God…but for those who do not know God it is imperative that our message find its way back to testifying who Christ is and what He has done. Biblical principles might work in their life because Christ will rain on the just and unjust alike...still…we must give them a sure foundation for which to believe in and follow. We must share our “first love”. It is what defines us as who and what we are…
