Peter’s Sermon Pt. 1

Peter begins his sermon, reiterating the prophetic words of Joel, showing that the universal pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the Church, serves as an eschatological marker, signifying the beginning of the last days, and the coming judgment and wrath of God for sin, and our glorious salvation. Peter urges the hearers to turn to Christ in faith, that His propitiation of God’s wrath for our sin would be received through faith.

Acts 2:16-21 "But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: 'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on my male servants and female servants, in those days I will pour out my Spirit, and they shall prophesy. And I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke; the sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the day of the Lord comes, the great and magnificent day. And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’"
