<li>Summary and Application
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The book of Acts is the continuation of the Gospels about the “Acts” of the risen Lord Jesus Christ</li>
|
||
<li>The resurrection is the pivot around which all New Testament theology proceeds</li>
|
||
<li>The witness is not centered on an attempt to systematically prove the resurrection</li>
|
||
<li>The most convincing evidence is that of changed lives through contact with the risen Christ</li>
|
||
<li>Acts is the record of those who lived by what they were convinced was true</li>
|
||
<li>The resurrection dominated their life</li>
|
||
<li>What dominates our life?</li>
