Acts 3
HALLActs 3:1
At the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
At the hour of evening prayer, being about three of the clock in the afternoon.
Acts 3:16
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
It was only the name of Jesus, which I made use of in this cure; neither was it the bare outward sound thereof, but the faith in the Almighty power of Him, whose Name it is, that hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, howsoever the secret and omnipotent power of God hath done it, yet the means which hath obtained it, is the faith in this Jesus, both wrought in us by him and firmly pitched upon VOL. IV. T him alone, that is it, which hath procured to this man perfect soundness, in the presence of you all.
Acts 3:17
And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
And now, brethren, I have not said this to drive you into a despair of mercy: had ye done this knowingly, wilfully, maliciously, the case had been fearful, and hardly capable of remedy; but now, ye did it rather out of ignorance and error of opinion, as likewise divers of your rulers did; so that there is great hope, and, if ye repent, assurance of mercy and forgiveness.
Acts 3:19
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
That, in the time when this Son of God shall come again to judge the world, which shall be a day of terror indeed to the wicked and impenitent, but a day of unspeakable comfort and happiness to all penitent believers, ye may then receive, not a discharge only, but joy and blessedness from him.
Acts 3:21
Whom the heavens must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets.
Whom the heavens must contain, in respect of the presence of his Glorified Body, until the time of his Second Coming; when he shall appear again, for the full consummation of the glory of his elect, and perfect accomplishment of his kingdom, concerning which, in all the passages thereof, God hath spoken by all his holy prophets.
