Lesson 2: The Book of Conversions

The Strategic Placement of the Book of Acts in the N.T. It is a vital and indispensible record of God’s holy and Divine will for man. In simplified summaries, the major divisions of the N.T. could be stated as follows: The Gospels: God’s vehement intent to save man Book of Acts: God’s vivid illustrations of men being saved The Epistles: God’s various instructions to men who are saved Revelation: God’s victorious incentive for men who are saved

Great Commission: Its Command, Compliance & Consequences Book of Acts The Epistles The Results Preach/Teach Mark 16:15 Teaching Acts 2:14, 40; 8:4-5, 12 Taught Rom. 10:14; Eph. 4:20-21 Saved Mark 16:16; Eph. 2:8 Believe Mark 16:16 Believing Acts 2:37; 16:31 Believed 1 Co. 15:2, 11; Ep. 1:13 Remission of Sins Luke 24:47; Acts 2:38 Repent Luke 24:47 Repenting Acts 2:38; 17:30 Repented 1 Thess. 1:9; 2 Pet. 3:9 Disciples Mt. 28:19; Acts 6:7; 11:26 Baptized Mt. 28:19; Baptizing Acts 2:38; 18:8; 22:16 Rom. 6:3-4; Gal. 3:27 New Relationship with God Mt. 28:19; Gal. 3:26-27

Great Commission: Its Command, Compliance & Consequences The Great Commission is simple, Jesus having used clear and precise terms. However, some either by ignorance or by choice do not or will not “get it.” God gave the book of Acts with clear and copious examples of the commission of Christ being followed. Clear and precise instructions combined with clear, precise and copious examples (that correspond unambiguously with the instructions) makes God’s plan to save man crystal clear. Any misunderstanding, misinterpretation, miscommunication or misapplication is therefore by conscious choice or willful ignorance.

Examples of Conversion in Acts Those Taught Believed Repented Confessed Baptized Saved Jews Acts 2:1-47 Cut to heart (37) Repent (38) (38, 41) Remission (38) Added (47) Samaritans Acts 8:5-12 (12) Simon Acts 8:13 (13) Eunuch Acts 8:26-40 (36-37) (36-38) Rejoiced (39) Saul Acts 9:1-18 (9:18; 22:16) Sins washed away (22:16) Cornelius Acts 10:25-58 (43) Repentance (11:18) (47-48) Remission of sins (43) Lydia Acts 16:11-15 (15) The Jailer Acts 16:25-34 (31, 34) Washed stripes (33) (33) Saved (30) Rejoiced (34) Corinthians Acts 18:4-11 (8) Ephesians Acts 19:1-7 (2, 4) (5)

Examples of Conversion in Acts Those who were converted in the New Testament did: Exactly what they were told to do Immediately what they were told to do Uniformly (in every case) what they were told to do Graciously receive the same blessing of salvation Men today must follow and use the conversions in Acts as their guide (see Lesson 1).

A Parallel Between the Purpose and the Theme As persons were being converted to Christ, notice what happened to Christianity (i.e., the Lord’s church). “And that day about three thousand souls were added to them” (Acts 2:41) “And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47) “Many…believed; and the number of the men came to be about 5,000” (Acts 4:4) “And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes…” (Acts 5:14) “…The number of the disciples was multiplying…” (Acts 6:1) “Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith” (Acts 6:7). “Then the churches…were multiplied” (Acts 9:31) “…And many believed on the Lord” (Acts 9:42)

A Parallel Between the Purpose and the Theme As persons were being converted to Christ, notice what happened to Christianity (i.e., the Lord’s church). “And a great many people were added to the Lord” (Acts 11:24) “The word of God grew and multiplied” (Acts 12:24) “…A great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed” (Acts 14:1) “…They had preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples” (Acts 14:21) “So the churches…increased in number daily” (Acts 16:5) “A great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women” (Acts 17:4) “Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks…” (Acts 17:12) “And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized” (Acts 18:8)
