and WHAT is it we OBEY?
same as they did - REPENT of unbelief and sin and in THAT VERY SAME DAY, OBEY The Gospel AND Receive The Holy Spirit!
Amen. Repent (the mind change which necessitates a change in conduct) of unbelief (which is unfaithfulness and disobedience)
Acts 2
36Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”
37Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” 38And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” 41So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
The Fellowship of the Believers
42And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43And awed came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
they OBEYED....and....
there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Amen to that. They had forsaken their rebellion and were yielded to God.
They had laid aside all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness and received with meekness the implanted word which saves the soul.
Good scriptures.
