Question? What is a practical application for Acts 1:8?
Answer:
The list below is the proper application as follows:
1. Jerusalem = Your Home Town(IE. Franklin)
2. Judea = Your State(IE. Minnesota)
3. Samaria = Your Country(IE. United States)
4. Uttermost Part = The World(IE. China)
The Lord wants us to go out and share the Gospel to everyone Matthew 28:19, Mark 16:15, but he also has a list of proper order of importance in how we go about reaching the lost for Him, In Summary OUR FOCUS and IMPACT should first start at HOME then OUR EFFORTS should branch out from there to the rest of the world
Christ DIED for you – Romans 5:8
Christ PAID your sins in full – 2 Corinthians 5:21,1 Peter 2:24
BELIEVE (Trust In Completely) in Christ ALONE as the complete payment of sin for salvation – John 3:16,17,36,47, Acts 16:31, Ephesians 2:8,9, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 1 John 5:13
“For the wages(payment) of sin is death (eternal torment in hell & the lake of fire); but the GIFT of God is eternal life THROUGH Jesus Christ our Lord”. Romans 6:23
IT IS THAT SIMPLE – THE GOSPEL TRUTH
