Dear Life & Letters of Paul Class members,
Today we go to the rooftop of the world's largest (and most lovely) church for this study of the Gospel according to Peter. We will study during this class each of the times Peter explains salvation in the Book of Acts as well as in 1 and 2 Peter.
I hope you enjoy the splendors of St. Peter's in Rome and then be challenged by the power of the Gospel through the words of Saint Peter himself. Here's a start of the points we'll cover:
"St. Peter played a prominent part in the early Church. The book of Acts records several of his early sermons. He authored two books in the Holy Scriptures.
A study of his sayings casts much light on his attitude toward the Church and its teachings.
How would he have answered questions both Catholics and Protestants ask in this ecumenical age? We have written and addressed some, as it were, to St. Peter.
His replies are all taken from his own speeches and writings as we have them in the Holy Scriptures. We have used only the approved Confraternity edition of the Scriptures in giving St. Peter’s replies.
Q. Could you tell us simply, St. Peter, how we can be saved from our sins?
A. “Whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21).
Set your hope completely upon that grace which is brought to you in the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 St. Peter 1:13).
“To him all the prophets bear witness, that through his name all who believe in him may receive forgiveness of sins” (Acts 10:43).
Q. Do those who have trusted the Lord Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins have to anticipate purgatory when they die?
A. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy has begotten us again, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, unto a living hope, unto an incorruptible inheritance–undefiled and unfading, reserved for you in heaven. By the power of God you are guarded through faith for salvation, which is ready to be revealed in the last time. Over this you rejoice” (1 St. Peter 1:3-6).
Q. But surely, St. Peter, even the true believer has a residue of sins for which he has to make restitution to God in penance?
A. “Christ…has suffered for you,…who himself bore our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died to sin, must live to justice; and by his stripes you were healed” (1 St. Peter 2:21, 24).
Q. St. Peter, is it possible for grace to be purchased by us in any way?
A. “You know that you were redeemed from the vain manner of life handed down from your fathers, not with perishable things, with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot” (1 St. Peter 1:18-19).
“Thy money go to destruction with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money. Thou hast no part or lot in this matter; for thy heart is not right before God. Repent therefore of this wickedness…and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee” (Acts 8:20-22)."
(Rome#10; 220513)

Each of us as followers of Christ has been commissioned by Him to spend our lives going and sharing the Gospel. Some of us preach, some of us pray, some of us go to other lands, and others of us serve in the nursery, adult, youth, or children’s ministry; but each of us is seeking to be a part of bringing others to Christ.
I’ve spent the past 40 years of my life preaching the simple Gospel because I believe that Jesus Christ can change every life He’s allowed to touch.
For most of us sitting in this clean, comfortable, well-lit church auditorium, surrounded by hundreds of believers, that sounds very reasonable.
But, what would you think about being invited to share the Gospel with a group of hardened sinners? Would you really believe down deep, that there was hope for them? Yes, we should because:
The Power of the
Gospel is Real
But would you feel as confident if you knew those hardened sinners in your audience were actually two thousand antagonistic, gang members who:
• All have killed in cold-blooded murder, with their own hands, at least one person (and then went on to eat the dead body);
• All are presently, actively involved in some form of deep, black, Satanic witchcraft;
• All have both a heavy drinking and drug addiction history; and
• All are addicted to living in some form of sexual perversion; either incest, pedophilia, adultery, or fornication.
Also added to the audience will be several hundred unwed mothers, plus countless divorced and unfaithful women, as well as some legions of hardened children who live in those broken homes.

THE MIRACLE OF ISRAEL--GOD’S UNBREAKABLE PROMISE TO ABRAHAM
HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE END TIMES
Triumphant living in the 21st century involves cultivating a growing sense of what God is doing in this world.
Israel is the center of the earth and the universe from God’s perspective.
Even directions in the Bible speak of this orientation God has. And so, what happens to ISRAEL has been ordained by God, and we need to be careful to understand the past dealings of God with the Jews to realize in the future that He is still at work!
First, we must see that God has chosen the Jews as His People, and God has Chosen the Land of Canaan (not Palestine) as His Land and God has Chosen the Destiny of the Nation of Israel as His Destined Plan for His Destined People. The Jews, the Land of Israel, and the Nation of Israel are Chosen People of Destiny.

Living Out the NEW You
God explains the realities of the spiritual world in which we live.
Each time we look into the Bible we are immersed in reality, not entertainment.
For years Americans have marveled at the entertainment of shows like Extreme Makeover & Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
In both shows, audiences into the millions of viewers witnessed unbelievable transformations of both people’s appearances and people’s homes.
That was entertainment. Here is the reality.
People can entertain us, but only God can transform us.
God the Extreme Transformer
God Himself has always been in the Extreme Transformation business.
Since the Garden of Eden, and mankind’s fall into our:
desperately warped,
hopelessly twisted,
totally ruined condition of sin:
God has been transforming individuals from the inside out.
Some of His most amazing people-transforming makeovers are well known to us from the Scriptures: Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Rahab, Ruth, and David for example.
Each of those and other Old & New Testament saints were completely changed, and lived out that change across the pages of Scripture, to the degree that surrendered and co-operated with God’s work within them.
They were each new people in old bodies.
New People in Old Bodies
At the moment of salvation, we became a new person.
We were born-again like a baby with no past, only a future.
We became children in God’s family with a bright, new, endless and secure future.
Our past sins were all erased.
Our present and future sins were also forever stricken from our account.
That means that salvation gives us a completely new identity.
Salvation: Our New Identity
(SWS-30)

In the midst of the relentless conflicts in both Gaza now and that have gripped Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022, the world has borne witness to an array of devastating weaponry that has reshaped the landscape of modern warfare.
From Moscow's ominous Iskander missiles to the haunting presence of cluster munitions and the ever-menacing kamikaze drones, the war-torn region has become a crucible for cutting-edge military technology.
But now, a new and potentially catastrophic threat looms – the specter of a Russian EMP strike.
For those who try to live in this world without Christ—their world just got a little darker and more hopeless this week! Remember why? Jesus said in Matthew 24, that a day is coming when it will be hard to find anyone alive on this planet. Without Christ's presence within, life will get progressively more hopeless. But with Him, life grows brighter each day—not easier, not smoother, not funner--just brighter as we draw closer to Him.
Open with me again to Lamentation 3. We find here the pathway to hope.

The answer is in the most powerful tool in the arsenal of weaponry to win spiritual battles that God has given us. And parenting, and grand parenting is a spiritual battle, right? Well, tonight we will conclude our look at Parenting in Godliness with the key to raising, nurturing, and launching children that please the Lord as we learn How to Pray for our children.
When Jesus left Earth and went back to heaven, what did those who were closest to Him remember about Him? Remember, imitation is the highest form of compliment.
What did they imitate from His life? Check Acts 6:4!
What as it about Him they couldn’t get along without? Prayer, of course.
What do we need to do the most for our family? Pray, of course.
We as parents have a biblical obligation to PRAY FOR OUR CHILDREN. Note I Samuel 12:23 and Ephesians 6:18:

In Revelation 1:9, John describes for us exactly what the Christian life is like. Flipsis, “tribulation.”
This is the word for being squashed.
He was doing what he was supposed to do, preaching the word of God like he was called to, and because of that, he was in trouble. Flipsis, squashed, can’t hold up the weight any longer.
John’s readers were going through the exact same thing.
They were meeting in secret to avoid being fed to lions. They were suffering for their faith.
They were constantly surrounded by so much immorality that they faced temptation just walking down the street. , and they, with us, and with John, need what God is about to unwrap for them.
When John uses the word “patience” in verse 9, he’s using the word for God telling us to hold on even when it hurts.
Paul described the Christian life as sunagonizumai, “with agony.”
Christians are, according to Paul, “with agonizers.”
We struggle together, we are squashed, and God calls us to hold on even when it hurts.
When God gave the book of Revelation to John, He was speaking to suffering people.
And when God comes to squashed, agonizing people who are barely holding on, we see His gift to us in one glorious moment, when God Himself rips away the wrapping paper and we get to see the real, present-day Jesus Christ.
The reality of our new life in Christ is that it is a struggle. When Paul wrote to Titus, he had already described himself as a fellow struggler through this world (Romans 15:30; 1Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 4:7). Paul calls born-again believers under the guidance of the Spirit of God sunagonidzomai or in English “fellow-strugglers”.
