The Saving Work of Jesus Christ and New Testament Salvation
The Need of Humanity and the Salvation of God
The doctrine of salvation does not begin with man trying to reach God. It begins with God creating man for fellowship, man falling into sin, and God making a way to restore what sin destroyed.
The Bible teaches that God created humanity in His image.
Genesis 1:27 says:
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
This means mankind was not created like the animals. Man was made with spiritual capacity, moral responsibility, intellectual ability, self-awareness, conscience, and the ability to know and respond to God.
Humanity is more than a body. According to I Thessalonians 5:23, man consists of body, soul, and spirit. The body is the physical part. The soul and spirit make up the eternal part of man—the part that thinks, feels, chooses, reasons, worships, discerns, and stands accountable before God.
Man was created innocent. Adam and Eve were not created sinful. They were created with freedom, purity, and the ability to obey God. But freedom also meant responsibility. God gave them a command, and they chose to disobey.
When Adam and Eve sinned, sin did not merely affect their private lives. It entered the human race.
Romans 5:12 says:
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin…”
That means sin became more than an action. It became a nature. Humanity is now born under the dominion and pull of sin. We do not become sinners merely because we commit sinful acts; we commit sinful acts because sin is already working in fallen human nature.
This is why Scripture is so absolute when it describes man’s condition.
Romans 3:10 says:
“There is none righteous, no, not one.”
Romans 3:23 says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
No person is exempt. No culture is exempt. No class of society is exempt. No moral résumé is enough to erase the stain of sin.
The Bible does not say man is merely weak. It says man is guilty. It does not say man only needs improvement. It says man needs salvation.
Sin has consequences.
Romans 6:23 says:
“For the wages of sin is death…”
James 1:15 says:
“Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
Death in Scripture is separation. Physical death separates the soul and spirit from the body. Spiritual death separates man from fellowship with God. Eternal death is final separation from God.
So the human problem is not simply that people make mistakes. The problem is that humanity is separated from God by sin and is under the sentence of death.
That is why salvation is necessary.
Man does not need a motivational speech first. He needs deliverance. He does not merely need education, reform, therapy, or religion. He needs to be rescued from sin, death, condemnation, and separation from God.
And the good news is this: God did not leave humanity in that condition.
God Came to Save What Sin Had Ruined
The saving work of Jesus Christ is the center of the gospel.
Christianity is not built merely on the teachings of Jesus. It is built on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I Corinthians 15:3–4 gives the heart of the gospel:
“Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”
The gospel is not good advice. It is good news.
Good advice tells man what he should do.Good news tells man what God has done.
God came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to provide salvation for fallen humanity. The Incarnation was not random. It was not merely so God could walk among men. It was for the purpose of the Atonement. God became man so that He could die for man.
John 1:14 says:
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”
I Timothy 3:16 says:
“God was manifest in the flesh…”
The One who created man came to redeem man. The One offended by sin became the sacrifice for sin. The Judge stepped into humanity to bear the judgment Himself.
This is the wonder of the gospel.
God did not send an angel.God did not send a substitute who was separate from Himself.God came Himself in the person of Jesus Christ.
Why the Cross Was Necessary
To understand salvation, we must understand why the Cross was necessary.
God is holy. His holiness means He is completely pure, completely righteous, and completely separate from sin. God cannot approve sin. God cannot fellowship with sin. God cannot pretend sin does not matter.
Sin separates man from God, and separation from God brings death.
God’s holy law requires death as the penalty for sin. This is not because God is cruel. It is because God is just. If sin could be ignored, then God’s holiness would be compromised. If guilt could be dismissed without judgment, then righteousness would lose its meaning.
Hebrews 9:22 says:
“Without shedding of blood is no remission.”
Blood represents life. For sin to be remitted, a life had to be given. A penalty had to be paid.
In the Old Testament, animal sacrifices pointed toward this principle. The blood of bulls, goats, and lambs was offered as a covering for sin. But those sacrifices were temporary shadows. They could point forward to redemption, but they could not fully remove sin.
Hebrews 10:4 says:
“For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”
Why? Because animals are not equal to man. Animals were not created in the spiritual image of God. Their blood could not permanently redeem the human soul.
But an ordinary man could not redeem us either. Every ordinary man has his own sin. A guilty man cannot pay the eternal debt of another guilty man. One condemned prisoner cannot free another condemned prisoner if both are under the same sentence.
So God provided the only suitable substitute.
He came as a man—but not as a sinful man.
Jesus Christ was fully human, yet without sin. He was tempted, yet He did not yield. He lived in the flesh, yet He never violated the will of God. He was the only sinless man who ever lived.
Because He had no sin of His own, He did not deserve death. Therefore, He could die in the place of sinners.
II Corinthians 5:21 says:
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
Jesus did not die because He was guilty. He died because we were guilty.
He did not die as a victim of circumstance. He died as the Lamb of God.
John 1:29 says:
“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”
The Cross was not God excusing sin. The Cross was God judging sin in the body of Christ.
God did not look at sin and say, “It does not matter.”God looked at sin and said, “It matters so much that only blood can answer it.”Then He provided the blood Himself.
What Happened at the Cross?
The Bible describes Christ’s death in several powerful ways. Each one reveals a different dimension of what Jesus accomplished.
1. Redemption: He Bought Us Back
To redeem means to deliver by paying a price.
Sin held humanity in bondage. Man was enslaved under sin’s dominion and penalty. But Jesus paid the ransom price with His own blood.
I Peter 1:18–19 says:
“Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold…But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
The price of our freedom was not money. It was blood.
Jesus paid what we could not pay. He purchased what we could not earn. He delivered us from a slavery we could not escape by our own strength.
2. Propitiation: He Satisfied the Justice of God
Propitiation means satisfaction or atonement. It means the righteous requirement of God has been answered.
Romans 3:25 says God set forth Christ to be a propitiation through faith in His blood.
This means God can forgive sin without becoming unjust. He can show mercy without denying holiness. He can pardon the guilty because the penalty has been paid.
At Calvary, mercy and justice met.
Mercy said, “I want to save them.”Justice said, “Sin must be judged.”The Cross answered both.
3. Reconciliation: He Brought Us Back to God
Sin created separation between God and man. Jesus removed the barrier.
II Corinthians 5:19 says:
“God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself…”
Reconciliation means fellowship is restored. The relationship broken by sin can now be healed through Christ.
Jesus Christ, as the sinless man, stands as the mediator between God and men.
I Timothy 2:5 says:
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
The mediator had to touch both sides. As God manifested in flesh, Jesus reveals God to man. As true man, He represents man before God.
In Christ, God reached down and humanity was lifted up.
4. Substitution: He Took Our Place
Substitution means Jesus suffered what we deserved.
Isaiah 53:5 says:
“He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities…”
I Peter 2:24 says:
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree…”
The Cross was personal.
It was not merely “Jesus died.”It was “Jesus died for us.”
He stood where we should have stood.He bore what we should have borne.He took the judgment that belonged to us.
That is why salvation can never be earned. The price was too high for man to pay. It had to be paid by Christ.
The Burial, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ
The gospel did not end at the Cross.
Jesus died, but He was also buried. His body was laid in the grave. His soul descended to Hades, the place of departed souls—not the lake of fire. But death could not hold Him.
Acts 2:31 says:
“His soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.”
On the third day, Jesus rose again with a glorified physical body. His resurrection was not symbolic. It was real, bodily, and victorious.
The resurrection is essential to salvation.
Romans 4:25 says He:
“Was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.”
If Jesus had died and stayed dead, His death would not have secured victory. But His resurrection proved that the sacrifice was accepted, sin was answered, death was defeated, and eternal life was now available.
I Corinthians 15:14 says:
“And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.”
But Christ is risen.
Because He rose, believers can walk in newness of life. Because He rose, death is not final. Because He rose, the grave has lost its authority over those who are in Him.
After forty days, Jesus ascended into heaven. He is exalted forever. During His earthly life, He submitted to human limitations. He hungered, thirsted, slept, suffered, and died. But after His resurrection and ascension, He is openly revealed in glory, power, and authority.
Philippians 2:9–11 says:
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name…”
Jesus is not merely remembered as a teacher. He is exalted as Lord.
The sacrifice of Calvary was once for all. Hebrews 10:12 says:
“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.”
His work at the Cross is complete. His sacrifice does not need to be repeated. But the benefits of that sacrifice are still being applied today to those who come to God through Him.
The Cross Reverses What Sin Destroyed
Sin brought death.Christ brings life.
Sin brought separation.Christ brings reconciliation.
Sin brought bondage.Christ brings redemption.
Sin brought guilt.Christ brings justification.
Sin brought corruption.Christ brings regeneration.
Sin brought alienation.Christ brings adoption.
Sin brought uncleanness.Christ brings sanctification.
Everything humanity lost through sin, God restores through Jesus Christ.
The benefits of Christ’s work include forgiveness of sins, new spiritual life, power over the devil, healing, deliverance, sanctification, and ultimately eternal life.
Colossians 1:14 says:
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.”
Hebrews 2:14 says that through death Jesus destroyed:
“him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.”
The Cross was not a defeat. It was victory disguised as suffering.
At Calvary, Satan thought he was ending Christ. But Christ was ending Satan’s legal claim over humanity.
Salvation Is by Grace Through Faith
The Bible is clear: no one can save himself.
Ephesians 2:8–9 says:
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Salvation begins in grace. Grace means God gives what we could never deserve. It is not earned by morality, religion, sacrifice, or human effort.
No amount of good deeds can erase sin. No amount of religious activity can purchase forgiveness. No one can climb high enough to reach God.
Salvation is a gift.
But a gift must be received.
The way we receive God’s grace is through faith.
Faith is not merely believing that God exists. Faith is not merely agreeing that Jesus died and rose again. Biblical faith includes trust, surrender, reliance, commitment, and obedience.
This is important: obedience does not earn salvation, but true faith obeys.
James 2:17 says:
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
Faith without response is not saving faith. If a person says he believes God but refuses to obey God, his faith is incomplete.
Hebrews 5:9 says Jesus became:
“The author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.”
Saving faith receives the gospel and responds to the gospel.
Faith is the hand that receives grace.Obedience is the movement of that hand toward God.
So we are not saved by works. But neither are we saved by a dead faith that refuses to respond.
The question is not, “Can I earn salvation?”The answer is no.
The real question is, “How do I receive the salvation Jesus purchased?”
The New Testament answers that question clearly.
The Gospel Must Be Applied
The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
But the gospel is not only something to believe as history. It is something to obey and apply personally.
I Corinthians 15 tells us the gospel events: Christ died.He was buried.He rose again
Acts 2:38 tells us the gospel response: Repent.Be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Romans 6 explains the connection. Through repentance, we die to sin. Through baptism, we are buried with Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, we walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:4 says:
“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death…”
This is why Acts 2:38 is not separate from the gospel. It is the personal application of the gospel.
Jesus died, was buried, and rose again for us.We respond by repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and receiving the Holy Spirit.
This is the new birth.
Jesus said in John 3:5:
“Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
To be born again is not merely to turn over a new leaf. It is not merely to become more religious. It is a supernatural work of God in which the old life is buried and a new life begins.
II Corinthians 5:17 says:
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature…”
God does not merely repair the old man. He brings forth a new creation.
Acts 2:38: The Apostolic Answer
On the Day of Pentecost, Peter preached the first gospel sermon after the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ.
The people were convicted. They realized they were guilty. They cried out:
“Men and brethren, what shall we do?”— Acts 2:37
This is one of the most important questions in the Bible.
They did not ask, “What should we think?”They asked, “What shall we do?”
Peter answered plainly:
“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”— Acts 2:38
This is the complete apostolic response to the gospel.
It includes repentance, water baptism in Jesus’ name, and receiving the Holy Ghost.
This was not only for the Jews at Pentecost. The same pattern appears throughout the Book of Acts.
The Samaritans believed and were baptized, then received the Holy Ghost in Acts 8.Paul was baptized and filled with the Spirit in Acts 9 and Acts 22.The Gentiles received the Holy Ghost and were commanded to be baptized in Jesus’ name in Acts 10.The disciples of John at Ephesus were rebaptized in Jesus’ name and received the Holy Ghost in Acts 19.
This shows that Acts 2:38 was not a one-time message. It was the apostolic pattern of New Testament conversion.
Repentance: Turning From Sin to God
Repentance is the first response of faith.
It is more than feeling sorry. It is more than regret. It is more than being afraid of consequences.
Repentance means turning from sin to God.
Acts 26:20 describes repentance as turning to God and doing works suitable for repentance.
True repentance includes the mind, the heart, and the will.
There is an intellectual change: “I see sin differently.”There is an emotional change: “I feel godly sorrow over sin.”There is a volitional change: “I choose to turn from sin and toward God.”
II Corinthians 7:10 says:
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation…”
Godly sorrow is not the same as worldly sorrow. Worldly sorrow is sorry it got caught. Godly sorrow is grieved because sin has offended God.
Repentance includes confession. I John 1:9 says:
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins…”
Repentance also includes forsaking sin.
Proverbs 28:13 says:
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.”
Repentance is not a person saying, “God, forgive me, but I plan to continue.”Repentance says, “God, I turn from this. I surrender this. I want You more than I want my sin.”
Repentance prepares the heart for baptism and the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
Without repentance, baptism becomes an empty religious act. Without repentance, a person is not truly yielding to God.
Repentance is where the old life begins to die.
Water Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ
Water baptism is not a meaningless ceremony. It is part of the believer’s response to the gospel.
I Peter 3:21 says:
“The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us…”
Baptism does not save as a physical washing of dirt from the body. It saves as an obedient appeal to God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The biblical mode of baptism is immersion. Baptism represents burial, and burial requires being placed fully under.
Romans 6:4 says:
“We are buried with him by baptism into death…”
Sprinkling does not preserve the symbolism of burial. Immersion does.
Baptism requires faith and repentance. This is why infant baptism does not fit the apostolic pattern. A baby cannot believe, repent, confess faith, or choose obedience. In the New Testament, people heard the gospel, believed, repented, and were baptized.
The Bible also teaches that baptism is to be administered in the name of Jesus Christ.
Acts 2:38 says:
“Be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…”
Acts 8:16 says the Samaritans were baptized:
“In the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Acts 10:48 says Peter commanded the Gentiles to be baptized:
“In the name of the Lord.”
Acts 19:5 says the disciples at Ephesus were baptized:
“In the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Acts 22:16 says:
“Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.”
The name matters because the saving authority is in the name of Jesus.
Acts 4:12 says:
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Jesus is the saving name. Jesus is the redemptive name. Jesus is the name above every name.
Matthew 28:19 commands baptism in the singular “name” of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The apostles obeyed that command by baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ, because Jesus is the revealed saving name of God in redemption.
The titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost reveal God’s relationship and manifestation, but the name invoked in apostolic baptism is Jesus.
Colossians 3:17 says:
“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus…”
If everything in Christian life is to be done in the name of Jesus, baptism certainly should be.
Baptism in Jesus’ name identifies the believer with His death and burial, washes away sins, remits the record of sin, and places the believer into covenant relationship with Christ.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit
The new birth is not complete without the Spirit.
Jesus said a man must be born of water and of the Spirit.
The baptism of the Holy Ghost is the experience of being filled with God’s Spirit. The Book of Acts uses several expressions for this experience: baptized with the Holy Ghost, filled with the Spirit, receiving the Holy Ghost, the Spirit falling on them, the Spirit coming upon them, and the gift being poured out.
This promise is for believers.
Acts 2:39 says:
“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off…”
The Holy Spirit is not only for apostles. It is not only for the first century. It is not only for a special class of Christians. It is the normal New Testament experience.
Jesus said in Acts 1:8:
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…”
The Spirit gives power to live holy, power to overcome sin, power to witness, power to be led by God, and power to become more like Christ.
Romans 8 teaches that the Spirit enables us to live above the domination of the flesh. Galatians 5 teaches that the Spirit produces fruit in the believer’s life: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.
The initial sign of receiving the Holy Ghost in the Book of Acts is speaking with tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
Acts 2:4 says:
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”
This happened at Pentecost. It happened with the Gentiles in Acts 10. It happened with the disciples of John in Acts 19.
In Acts 10, tongues were the sign that convinced the Jewish believers that the Gentiles had received the same experience they had received at Pentecost.
Acts 10:46 says:
“For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.”
Tongues were not presented as a learned language, emotional expression, or human performance. It was supernatural utterance given by the Spirit.
In Acts 8, the Samaritans received the Holy Ghost, and while tongues are not explicitly mentioned, something visible and miraculous occurred, because Simon the sorcerer saw that the Holy Ghost was given and wanted to purchase the power to impart it.
In Acts 9, Paul’s initial experience is not described in detail, but later he said in I Corinthians 14:18:
“I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all.”
The pattern is consistent: when people received the Holy Ghost in the apostolic church, there was a supernatural sign.
The Holy Spirit is the seal, the earnest of our inheritance, the guide into truth, the power of sanctification, and the presence of God dwelling in the believer.
The Present Work of Salvation
Salvation is not only something that happened at the altar or in the water. It has past, present, and future dimensions.
We have been saved from the penalty of sin.We are being saved from the power of sin.We shall be saved from the presence of sin.
The work of salvation includes several important realities.
Justification
Justification means God declares the believer righteous. It includes forgiveness, removal of guilt, cancellation of punishment, and the imputation of Christ’s righteousness.
Romans 3:24 says:
“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.”
The justified person does not stand before God as though he cleaned himself up. He stands before God because Christ’s blood has dealt with his sin.
Regeneration
Regeneration is the new birth. It is not self-improvement. It is not behavior modification. It is the impartation of new life.
Titus 3:5 says:
“According to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.”
God gives a new nature, new desires, new direction, and new power.
Adoption
Adoption means the believer is placed into God’s family.
Romans 8:15 says:
“Ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Salvation does not merely make us forgiven criminals. It makes us sons and daughters. God does not only clear the record; He brings us into the house.
Sanctification
Sanctification means separation unto God.
At conversion, God sets the believer apart from sin. Then the Holy Spirit continues working in that believer, transforming him into the image of Christ.
II Corinthians 3:18 says we are changed:
“From glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
Sanctification is both immediate and progressive. God sets us apart, and then He continues to make us holy.
The Christian life is not merely about escaping hell. It is about becoming like Jesus.
Salvation in Every Age Has Always Been by Grace Through Faith
Christ’s atoning work is the foundation of salvation in every age.
Before the Cross, people were saved by faith in what God promised. After the Cross, we are saved by faith in what God has accomplished. But the basis is still Christ.
Romans 3:25 teaches that God passed over former sins through the sacrifice of Christ. The Old Testament sacrifices did not remove sin by themselves; they pointed forward to the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Salvation has always originated in grace. It has always required faith. And true faith has always expressed itself through obedience.
Noah believed God, and he built the ark.Abraham believed God, and he obeyed the call.Israel believed God’s Passover instruction, and they applied the blood.The New Testament believer believes the gospel, and responds through repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and receiving the Holy Ghost.
Faith that refuses to respond is not biblical faith.
The Responsibility of the Hearer
There should be no harsh rejection of sincere people who have not yet received the full New Testament experience. Many people love God according to what they understand. Many are like Apollos, who was eloquent and fervent but needed to be taught the way of God more perfectly. Others are like the disciples at Ephesus, who had some truth but had not yet received the full apostolic message.
The responsibility of the church is not to condemn the hungry. It is to lead them further.
But sincerity does not replace truth. Religious experience does not overrule Scripture. Every person’s experience and doctrine must be brought into alignment with the Word of God.
The Bible is the sole authority for salvation.
Not tradition.Not opinion.Not denomination.Not emotion.Not family history.Not religious culture.
The question is not, “What have I always believed?”The question is, “What does the Scripture say?”
When truth is revealed, responsibility begins.
Acts 2:38 remains the apostolic answer:
Repent.Be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.Receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This is not salvation by human works. This is the obedient faith response to the grace of God.
Grace provided the blood.Faith receives the blood.Repentance turns from the sin.Baptism applies the name.The Holy Ghost gives new life.
Conclusion: The Fullness of New Testament Salvation
The message of salvation can be stated clearly:
Humanity was created in the image of God, but sin entered the human race through disobedience. All have sinned, and the wages of sin is death. Because God is holy, sin must be judged. Because God is love, He provided salvation.
God came in flesh as Jesus Christ. He lived without sin, died as our substitute, was buried, rose again, and ascended in glory. His blood provides redemption, propitiation, reconciliation, and substitution. His resurrection gives victory over death and new life to believers.
Salvation is by grace through faith, not by human merit. But saving faith is not dead, passive, or disobedient. Saving faith responds to the gospel.
The New Testament response is repentance from sin, baptism by immersion in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receiving the Holy Ghost with the initial sign of speaking in tongues.
This is the new birth of water and Spirit. This is the apostolic pattern. This is the application of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The gospel is not merely that Jesus did something long ago.
The gospel is that what Jesus did can be applied to your life now.
His death can become your death to sin.His burial can become the burial of your old life.His resurrection can become your new life in the Spirit.
That is New Testament salvation.
Not man reaching up to God by works, but God reaching down to man by grace.
Not sinners trying to save themselves, but the Savior offering Himself for sinners.
Not religion without power, but the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ applied to a life through repentance, Jesus-name baptism, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.
The question from Acts 2 still stands:
“Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
And the apostolic answer still stands:
