The Apostles' Interest in and Preaching of Salvation

Q: What does the Bible say about apostolic preaching?

Apostolic preaching centers on the person and work of Jesus Christ, emphasizing His death and resurrection as essential for salvation. Apostolic preaching is fundamentally about proclaiming Jesus Christ, as outlined in the writings of the New Testament. The apostles declared the nature of Christ as both human and divine, emphasizing His lineage from David and, importantly, His role as the Savior through His atoning death and resurrection. As seen in Romans 1:3-4, Paul clearly defines the Gospel in relation to Jesus Christ, highlighting His obedience even unto death, which is pivotal for reconciliation with God. Additionally, in 1 Corinthians 15, the core message is that Christ died for our sins and rose again, fulfilling the Scriptures and demonstrating His divine authority. The testimony of Jesus becomes the focal point of the apostles' preaching, as they were empowered by the Holy Spirit to effectively communicate this message.

Q: Why is the resurrection of Christ important for salvation?

The resurrection of Christ is vital because it validates His divinity and confirms the efficacy of His sacrifice for the sins of His people. The resurrection of Christ is crucial for our salvation because it serves as a definitive proof of His divine nature and the effectiveness of His atoning work. As 1 Corinthians 15 clarifies, Christ's resurrection is not just an event; it is the cornerstone of the Gospel, providing believers with assurance that their sins are forgiven and that they, too, will be raised to eternal life. The resurrection affirms that Christ's sacrificial death was accepted by God, demonstrating His power over death and sin. This transformative event invites believers to celebrate and worship, as it signifies the beginning of new life in Christ, underscoring the complete work of salvation accomplished through Him.

Q: How do we know the apostles' teachings are true?

The truth of the apostles' teachings is guaranteed by their authority as eyewitnesses of Christ and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The teachings of the apostles are validated through their direct experiences with Jesus Christ as eyewitnesses of His ministry, death, and resurrection. The apostolic authority is evident in their bold proclamation of the Gospel, rooted in the historical reality of Christ as stated in Acts 1:3, where the apostles testify to all that Jesus began to do and teach. Moreover, the inspiration of the Holy Spirit played a vital role in guiding the apostles, ensuring that their messages align with God's truth. As articulated in 2 Peter 1:21, they spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit, thus what we have in the New Testament is not merely human wisdom but divine revelation, making their teachings foundational for our faith.

Q: What is the role of the Holy Spirit in salvation?

The Holy Spirit's role in salvation is to apply the work of Christ to the hearts of believers, enabling them to respond in faith. The Holy Spirit plays an essential role in the process of salvation, primarily as the agent who brings the truth of the Gospel to life in the hearts of individuals. According to John 3:5-6, the Spirit regenerates sinners, enabling them to see their need for Christ and respond in faith. Without the Holy Spirit's illuminating power, the message of salvation remains obscured and ineffective. Furthermore, Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that faith itself is a gift from God, underscoring the Spirit's work in the believer's life. He not only convicts of sin (John 16:8) but also confirms the believer's standing before God, turning their hearts toward Him and producing the fruits of a transformed life.

Let's turn again to the portion of Scripture we were considering this morning in 1 Peter, the first general epistle of Peter in chapter 1, and I'll read that passage we considered from verse 10 through 12, 1 Peter 1, reading verses 10, 11, and 12. Peter writes, of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you, searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves but unto us they did minister the things which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven which things the angels desire to look into.

We remarked that here we see a threefold interest in the grace of God in salvation In the Old Testament, it's the great theme of the prophetic ministry. And in the New Testament, of course, we have the record of the preaching of the apostles. But even also, at the end, we're told our angels, angelic beings, who have no interest in salvation. They need no salvation, the elect angels. their holy creatures about the throne of God and yet we have those words which things the angels desire to look into. We were thinking this morning in particular of the Old Testament and the ministry of the prophets and I remarked that of course they address their own day and generation. Their ministry was very much a contemporary ministry, we would say.

Principally, of course, are addressing God's ancient people, Israel. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the prophets being raised up from the days of Samuel through the whole history of the kings. Men like Elijah, Elisha. And then, of course, we have those prophetic books that make up so much of the Old Testament. We remarked on Isaiah and his preaching. Not only does he address Judah, God's covenant people, but he also speaks to the nations round about, to the Babylonians, the Moabites, the Syrians, These men, Amos also, they carry the burden of the Lord and they deliver their message to all the nations.

But we said that it is so evident that the principal subject matter of that ministry of those Old Testament prophets is the Lord Jesus Christ. Those very significant words that we find right at the end really. of Holy Scripture in Revelation 19 and verse 10, the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, the testimony of Jesus. And what do we read concerning the prophets?

They were searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. Well, having said something concerning the Old Testament prophets, I want us tonight to turn to that salvation that was preached by the apostles. And we are reminded of it, aren't we, here in the words that we have in the middle of verse 12.

The prophet says, Peter, they minister the things which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. He moves from the ministry of the prophets and begins to speak of those of the New Testament, the apostles. And the message that they are proclaiming is exactly the same message. Their ministry, of course, is rooted in the Old Testament.

In that portion that we read, the familiar second chapter of Acts, and the record that we have of the preaching of the Apostle Peter, he's quoting from the Old Testament. He's preaching Old Testament texts. is referring to the ministry of the Prophet Joel. He makes mention of the words of David in Psalm 16. He refers to the words of the 110th Psalm.

The great subject matter of their preaching, there was no New Testament at all when the day of Pentecost was called. and yet there is Peter preaching and preaching Christ and preaching Christ from the Old Testament Scriptures and this is what Peter is referring to of course here in this twelfth verse what was revealed unto those prophets are the things that he is also now ministering reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.

So, considering the message of these New Testament Apostles, first of all, to say something with regards to apostolic preaching and what it was. What was apostolic preaching? Well, observe first of all the content of it. What is the overall content? What is the message that these men are preaching? Well, they tell us. Remember how when Paul writes there at the beginning of the epistle to the Romans, he begins by defining what the gospel is. That's how the epistle opens, the opening verses.

And he says quite plainly, it is concerning God's Son Jesus Christ our Lord who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead. He plainly declares the person of the Lord Jesus Christ as man of the seed of David according to the flesh. He is David's son, David's greater son. The genealogies that we have at the beginning of Matthew and the beginning of Luke, his descent is traced back to David, it's the line of David. He is the seed of David according to the flesh, his human nature, but he is declared He is marked out as the Son of God according to the Spirit of Holiness by the Resurrection.

This is no ordinary man, this is the God-man. And as we find Paul defining the Gospel there in terms of the person of the Lord Jesus, one person, and yet in that one person these two distinct and separate natures, God and man, and yet always one person. And we cannot divide the natures, because those two natures make the one person of Jesus Christ. That's the mystery of godliness, God manifest in the flesh.

Well, having defined the gospel in terms of the person of Christ, when we turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 15, He's defining the same Gospel but now speaking more particularly of the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. You read there in the opening four verses of 1 Corinthians 15.

And what does he say? He says Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. This is how he's defining the Gospel. What is the Gospel? It's this record that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. How important is the death of the Lord Jesus Christ?

All the obedience of His life leads up to that one thing, as we see in Philippians 2, His obedience unto death. Even the death of the cross, obedient in living, Throughout his life his one mission is to do the will of Him who has sent him and to finish his work. It's a life of submission to all the Holy Lord of God. He's made under the Lord, he's subject to the Lord, he honours the Lord, he magnifies the Lord by obedience. His life is a righteous life, no sin in him, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners.

But he's not only obedient in living, he's obedient in dying. obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. The whole point of his life is to die, that death in which he will suffer and bleed and pour out his soul in obedience to God that he might save his people from their sins.

And Paul says he determined not to know anything amongst the Corinthians except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And again he says we preach Christ crucified. Here is the Gospel. Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures. And Peter is saying much the same here, isn't he? In verse 18 of chapter 3, Christ also hath once suffered for sins, that just for the unjust that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. Because the work of Christ is not only a work in which we ultimately see him dying a death, but he is raised again from the dead. And so doesn't Paul there in 1st Corinthians 15 go on to speak of the resurrection there at verse 4 he says concerning Christ he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures all that he is doing in dying in being buried in rising again all of it is according to the scriptures it's a fulfillment of all the Old Testament prophecies And now we see clearly the importance of that resurrection.

That's the vindication. He's declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness by the resurrection. And so we come together the first day of the week, the Lord's Day, week by week by week. Why? Because this is the day. Well, this is the day Christ is risen. Christ is risen again and we saw it there in that portion that we read in Acts 2 as I just said Peter appeals to Old Testament scripture what does he appeal to?

He appeals to the language of Psalm 16 thou will not leave my soul in hell neither will thou suffer thine only one to see corruption The Lord Jesus Christ is laid in the tomb, in that sense he's buried, but he sees no corruption. He can see no corruption. He not only has an immortal soul, he has an immortal body. What was conceived of the Holy Ghost in the womb of the Virgin Mary was that holy thing. He saw no corruption.

Now he is vindicated by the resurrection. Peter is preaching it there in Acts chapter 2 at verse 27 and the following verses. And as with Peter, so also with Paul later in Acts 13 where he's at Antioch in Pisida and we have a record of his sermon and what does he do.

He preaches again the resurrection and he makes reference to Psalm 16 in Acts 13.34 following. In fact, many times in the Acts of the Apostles we see these men making mention of the blessed truth of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just mention or refer you to one particular striking verse that we have there in the fourth chapter of Acts, verse 33.

It says, With great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace was upon them all. This is their message, you see. With great power they bear witness, they bear testimony to the truth that Christ is risen and risen again from the dead. This is apostolic preaching.

Or they preach Christ and they preach Christ crucified, Christ risen again from the dead and this is the very message that was preached by Paul of course although originally not one of the disciples and yet the Lord did show himself to him. Paul goes on to say that there in 1 Corinthians 15 and when he has to established his authority as an apostle amongst the Corinthians in that church that had been turned aside by false teachers and they were rejecting the ministry of Paul. But what does he say to them? Am I not an apostle? He says. Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?

That's the mark of the apostle. He can witness to the truth of that resurrection. He was as one born out of due time. the Lord appeared to him, showed himself to him, and so he too with the other apostles could bear testimony to the blessed truth of the resurrection.

Apostolic preaching, the content of it, it's Christ, it's the person of the Lord Jesus, it's the work, it's his life, there's our righteousness, there's the remission of sins, the shedding of blood, it is resurrection, it is ascension, it is session now at the right hand of God in glory and then when we come to consider this gospel we see that there is a call in the gospel, there is certainly an outward call, this message is to be proclaimed to men and so here in verse 12 we read of the things which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you. They're reporting, they're declaring, they're telling men of this person and his work, the things that Jesus Christ has done. This was the commission that was given to those first apostles.

You remember Mark's account? and the Lord says to them go ye into all the world preach the gospel to every creature and again we have it in Matthew go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and lo I am with you always even unto the end of the world there is in the gospel an outward call there's a general call that comes with the preaching and how solemn it is I think it was that great Puritan Ivan John Owen who said that a man having once heard that message having had the truth of it sounding in his ears he could never be the same man It would come to him the savour of life or it would come to him the savour of death. And you can think of the solemn words that the Lord Jesus Christ himself speaks in the Gospel, there in Matthew chapter 28. Matthew 28. That's his commission, isn't it? Matthew 11 and there at verse 20 and the following verse is solemn words as the Lord begins to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done because they repented not.

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sodom at the day of judgment than for you. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shall be brought down to hell. For if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee.

What of this land? What of our land? The country so favoured of the skies. What gospel ministry there's been in these islands. And God will call us to account. God will call us to account for these things. The gospel has been preached, and the gospel is being preached yet.

That's the amazing thing. even in the midst of such a wicked people as these people and we're not better than others God forbid that we should ever imagine for a moment that we're any better than any other of our fellow citizens we are dependents entirely upon the grace of God and we are what we are by the grace of God and but for the grace of God we would just be as any other that how solemn it is When God comes in his words, men are indifferent, men reject that word and have nothing to do with that word. Think of the words of the Lord Jesus, there in the third chapter of John, he that believeth on him is saved, isn't he? The believer is saved by the grace of God. But he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed the record that God hath given of his son. This is a condemnation. Light is coming to the world. Men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. All the outward cause, it comes, but there must be something more than an outward cause.

When men hear that call, they may respond. The majority, I suppose, are completely indifferent. It means nothing to them. They've heard it, they go their way, they forget what manner of men and women they are. Some might respond intellectually. They might be persuaded by the preacher. Moral suasion. You see, there are some who imagine you can sort of almost reason people into the kingdom of God. Evangelistic arguments. We've had all this, haven't we? This is the way of the modern man. This is the teachings that are peddled from a place like Metropolitan Sabernacle in London, under the name of reformed ministry. You reason with men. You persuade them.

John Skep, one of the old particular Baptist divines, he dismisses the whole notion of moral suasion. When a man is dead in trespasses and sins, you're never going to be able to persuade him to believe, except the grace of God is pleased to be manifested there in the soul of that man. Did the apostles use moral suasion?

Remember what Paul says to the Corinthians, my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom. That's how he addresses my speech, my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom but in demonstration of the spirit and of power. It's not enough for a man to be persuaded intellectually and to give an assent with his mind as it were because the preacher has used some clever argument with him others might respond emotionally because there are men who have great gifts of oratory not necessarily a gift of the spirit of God but they can stir the people and they make an emotional response and they are brought to weepings but none of this is to be confused with that faith that is true and saving faith we need to know to experience that blessed ministry of the Spirit, where the Spirit comes, what does the Spirit do?

He begins in a sense to show that man the impossibility of his faith and in his way John Newton knew it didn't he? when he said in the hymn, Oh could I but believe Oh could I but believe, then all would easily be, I would but cannot, Lord relieve, my help must come from Thee Salvation is of the Lord, isn't it?

Faith is the gift of God. Faith comes by the operation of God. It must be the work of the Spirit. When the Lord begins to convince a man he is under the law as it were. He is kept under the law. He is condemned under the law. And then the Gospel comes in all the fullness of the grace of God. all this preaching of the apostles, yes there's a general call but we see so clearly there must be something more than that and so I want in the second place to turn to that authoritative preaching that we see in the apostolic gospel and we can best describe it in terms of the the unction of the Spirit of God and that's what we have here. How did these men preach? They preach the gospel unto you, it says, with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven. All the preaching is in vain, except we know something of the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven.

How important that is! The work of the Spirit of God, salvation is of the Lord in every sense, it's the purpose of the Father, it's It's the blessed work of the Son, what he has procured and purchased by his life and his death. It's the blessed application by the Spirit of God.

And here we see the vital importance of the Spirit, those Old Testament prophets that we read of. Now they were dependent on the Spirit and He's spoken of, isn't He, as the Spirit of Christ in verse 11, searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow. The Spirit was the one who inspired those Old Testament prophets. In his second epistle, doesn't Peter tell us somewhat more with regards to those prophets? In that second epistle, chapter 1 and verse 21, we read, The prophecy came not in old time by the will of man, mark that, the prophecy came not by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Spirit of God. and again the importance of the words and the importance of the verb that we have here they're moved they speak as they were moved and that word has the force of being born along by the spirit driven along by the spirit exactly the same words exactly the same word is here in Acts 27 where we have Paul on his journey from Jerusalem, remember, he's appealed to Caesar, he's going to Rome, he's on board ship, he's crossing the Mediterranean, and there is a great storm, Eurocrat, a great storm, and the mariners cannot control the vessel. And there in Acts 27 verse 15 and again in verse 17 we read how they they strike sail and they let the vessel drive.

It's the same word that we're that's used in 2 Peter 1.21 those holy men they spake as they were driven along by the Spirit of God those mariners they had no control of the vessel in the storm they just let it drive wherever the elements would take it and that's how those holy men in the Old Testament spake that's inspiration isn't it? And what's true of the writings of the Old Testament prophets is also true of what we have here in the New Testament Scriptures. Holy men of God spake and wrote as they were moved by the Spirit of God.

That's the very promise of the Lord Jesus. Remember when he's speaking of the coming of the Spirit? We see it there in the 14th of John, the 15th, the 16th. But John 14, verse 26, Christ says, The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you. Whatever the Lord Jesus Christ spoke in the course of his earthly ministry, the Holy Spirit would cause His disciples to remember those very words. And so we have the record in the Gospels. But not only John 14, 26.

Again, in chapter 16, and verse 13, He says, "...Obey it when He, the Spirit of truth, is come. He will guide you into all truth." for he shall not speak of himself but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he will show you things to come. In all their writings there is much under the ministry and the influence and the direction and the power of the Holy Spirit as were any of those Old Testament prophets. Apostolic preaching then. and what's recorded in the scriptures but in a sense it's not just the writings of these men it's their preaching also they were able to make divine utterances and that's very much what we see on the day of Pentecost How these men are under a remarkable anointing of the Spirit of God.

It says doesn't it there in Acts 2.4, they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And they're not speaking gibberish. They're speaking known languages and they have never learned the languages. It's a miracle. It's a divine utterance that we have. that's the ministry of the apostles it's quite unique really and of course I'm sure you're aware it's covered by our articles 32nd gospel standard article speaks of these things it's unsafe maybe it's the wordings somewhat wanting in some respects probably not the best words to be using to say it's unsafe to follow the record as we have it there in the Acts, but the point I'm making is that these men, you see, are under a most peculiar unction of the Spirit. It's not known there.

They so spoke, you see, and it was so evident with the results that followed the preaching. Those added to the church on the day of Pentecost, in the early chapters, remarkable things are happening. in the ministry of those men who not long previously of course when Christ was taken they'd all forsaken him and fled away they were so fearful even Peter so bold on the day of Pentecost and yet denying Christ even to a young man so afraid denying Christ with oaths and curses oh what a ministry, what an authority is there we have to be careful then and distinguish these things are right and it's the same when it comes to the preaching today even there is an outward call there's a free proclamation of the gospel but to make that word effectual there must be that blessed work of the Spirit himself still but now he comes and works doesn't he in the hearts of men and women he was working there of course he was in the act of the apostles and thankfully the Spirit does still work efficaciously in the soul of the sinner we read back in Proverbs there in chapter 1 verse 24 the wise the man speaking as the mouth of God says I have called and ye refused and that's true of so many God comes, God calls they refuse, they stop their ears we will not have this man to reign over us many are called, many are called there's that general call that goes out but few are chosen How the inward call must be that that is made effectual.

And it's only made effectual by the blessed ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Christ says, All that the Father giveth me shall come to me, and he that cometh to me I shall in no wise cast out. It is written in the prophets, they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard and learned of the Father cometh unto me. We're familiar with all these scriptures. And what do these scriptures teach us?

Well they cause us to realize that it's only that God who made the world that can make a Christian. That lovely little sentence we have in Joseph Hart's preface to his hymn book There's a wonderful preface to that hymn book. If you get a copy of the book, just all of his hymns, but there's normally an account of his life, his experience, but also his own preface. And he makes that statement, only he that made the world can make a Christian.

And with regards to the effectual call, even that involves all the persons in the Godhead, the whole of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The Lord Jesus teaches us these things. I've already referred to verses in John 6. Look at what the Lord is saying there, John 6.44.

No man can come to me except the Father draw him. He speaks of the drawing of the father. No man can come to me except the father which hath sent me draw him. And then he goes on, it is written in the prophets, they shall be all taught of God. Isaiah 54, 13, they're all taught of God. Every man that hath heard and learned of the father cometh unto me. The father must work in this effectual cause. And the Son also must work.

What is the promise that's given to Christ back in the Old Testament, Psalm 110 and verse 3? The promise is, thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power. That's the promise given to the Messiah, thy people, the people that were given to him in the eternal covenant. thou be willing in the day of thy power and Christ says all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth go ye therefore and teach all nations this is the day of Christ's power and so it's not just the power of the Father it's the power of the Son and then it's also the power of the Holy Spirit no man no man can say that Jesus Christ is Lord but by the Holy Ghost." Or you can say the words, I can say the words, Jesus Christ is Lord, but to say it sincerely, to mean it, Jesus Christ is Lord. To own Him, to acknowledge Him as Lord, as Saviour.

It's only by the Spirit how that that gracious work, that blessed unction of the Spirit and how dear John speaks of these things doesn't he there in his first epistle, his first general epistle you have an unction from the Holy One and you know all things he says the anointing which you have received of him abideth in you and you need not that any man teach you But as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Now we need to abide in the Spirit, to know that blessed work of the Spirit. The Spirit, as I said earlier, is there in the Old Testament. He's the very Spirit of prophecy. and the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy and so we read here in the 11th verse of that spirit of Christ which was in those prophets and how through them he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ but now he comes to us and he comes to us by and through the blessed ministry of the New Testament that church that's founded upon the apostles and prophets of the New Testament and Christ himself the chief cornerstone and the words, the message it comes to us even tonight reported unto you And we trust it might come also by the blessed, gracious influence of the Holy Spirit.

Or that the Lord would be pleased and to own and to bless His Word. That there might be such an application. That sinners might be truly converted. Miracles of grace. Every believer is that. A miracle of grace. the mighty work of God in all the fullness of his triune being, Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

That's what we need if we're going to know true salvation. And what can we do? We have to call upon Him, we have to cry to Him, we have to seek Him. We have to beseech Him that He would come and seal these truths home to our souls, that we might know what Genuine Christianity really is, and it's rooted, it's grounded, I say, in all the authority of this apostolic gospel. Well, the Lord bless His words. The Lord willing, we'll go on next Lord's Day to say something I trust with regards to those angels who desire to look into these things. The Lord bless His word to us. Amen.
