Points to Gospel Salvation

Points to Gospel Salvation

Death of Christ


Acts 13:28-29 


28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 


29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.


Bodily resurrection of Christ


Acts 13:30 


But God raised him from the dead,


Luke 24:29 


But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.


30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks,


John 21:24 


This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.


Jesus Christ fulfilled prophecy


Acts 13:32-41 


32 “We tell you the good news: What God promised our fathers 


33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: “‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’


34 The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to decay, is stated in these words: “‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’


35 So it is stated elsewhere: “‘You will not let your Holy One see decay.’


36 “For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his fathers and his body decayed. 


37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.


38 “Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 


39 Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. 


40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:


41 “‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”


Luke 24:44 


He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.”


John 5:39 


You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, 


Matthew 5:17 


“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
