Introduction
In verses 12-16 we deal with the salvation/deliverance of Paul.
verse 12 we see the person used in the deliverance, Ananias
verse 13 we see the power of Paul’s deliverance when he recieves his sight
verses 14-16 we learn of the plan of Paul’s salvation/deliverance.
He himself was baptized and will take the Gospel to the world.
I. Saved
A. The Saved was Sent
Her we deal with the Person...
Ananias was the one saved who was sent.
Ananias was the person just like you and I are to be the people who are sent...
It is the saved who are sent to bring the Gospel so that others might be saved...
Men therefore can be saved when one of the saved is sent.
When the sent arrive what must happen???
B. How we are Saved
Here we deal with the Power
Paul recounts what happened to him
Verse 13 is the power of God used in our salvation...
So Paul was blind but now he sees
lost but now found/saved
at enmity with God but now His chosen instrument
he went from royal pain to the church to Royal Priesthood
he went from holier then thou to Holy Nation
he went from zealous opposition to Zeal with knowledge and Zealous Apostle
It is only by the Power of God that Paul has changed
Now armed with the Gospel that first saved him
He is now prepared to go and save others...
C. The Reason to Save
Here we deal with the Plan
Paul is told what to do by the SAVED so that he can be SENT to save even more...
Notice what Paul is told to do in verse 16
he is told to be BAPTIZED by the saved and this is what he also must tell the lost when he is sent to help save others - BE BAPTIZED!
After being Baptized Paul walks in the newness of life, he is longer the same man who persecuted the Church
Paul will now build up the Church in this new life...
Introduction to second half of the lesson, verses 17-21 which deals with Paul being sent, this is his new direction..
in verses 17-18 Paul tells of the vision to leave Jerusalem because of the PAST we’ll call it a “Role Reversal”
In verses 19-20 Paul makes a PLEA to stay because many knew him before his conversion “I am one of them”
In verse 21 Paul speaks to the PLAN again which was to take the Gospel to the Gentiles after first going to the Jews this going will be directed by God in other words, “Go to the Place I Will Show You...
II.
Sent
A. Role Reversal
The born again will often experience a reversal in roles
Once Paul was the hunter, he is now the hunted...
Once redeemed by the blood of the lamb men will have opportunity to reflect on the error of our old way
A way that is contrary to the will of God, even at enmity with Him...
But we can reverse it’s effects sometimes by using them...
B. I am one of them
Paul can use his error to point to the truth
With penitent hearts we might be able to use our wrong to highlight what’s right...
As one of them Paul yearned for his brethren to come to the knowledge of truth that could save them...
When you are confronted by the truth that can save you must do what it says
In other words you go or do what God commands
C. Go to a place He will show you
Now Paul’s heart was for his brethren
I’m sure he would have liked to have stayed to help bring them salvation
But God is sending him somewhere else
and he was obedient...
When the Lord says Go we must Go
Making us the Saved and the Sent...
God showed Noah a way (a place) and he obeyed...
God showed Abraham a place (a way) and he obeyed...
God showed Jacob a way, he obeyed and became Israel...
God showed Joseph a way, and it saved Israel...
God showed a way to the Prophets and those who obeyed were saved and sent...
God showed the Kings a way, often by His Prophets
those who obeyed were saved...
those who disobeyed were lost and destroyed
Then God sent the Way in the Person of Jesus the Christ...
God showed the Apostles a way to be saved, they obeyed and were sent that we might be saved
God continues to show us the way by His Word that we might know how to be saved and what to tell the lost...
God’s Plan of Salvation - What we must do in order to be saved
Hear the Word of God
Believe the Word of God
Repent of your past ways
Confess Jesus as God’s Son
Be Baptized for the remission of your sins
Remain Faithful even unto death
