Acts 19:1-5
From Fuzzy to Focused
Paul connects the dots between John the Baptizing Jew and Jesus and emphasizes the
fact that “saving repentance” is of the very essence of “saving faith”
John preached a baptism (as a sign) of repentance (metanoeo) = as he told people to believe (pisteuo) in the coming Messiah who in fact is Jesus of Nazareth
Take This To Heart
Faith is ART and it is Only as Good as Its Object. True Saving Faith is the Person/Work of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:30-31; 4:10-12; 10:43; 13:38-39; 18:28; John 20:30-31)
