Every Person Who Will Not Listen To Jesus Will Be Destroyed

In the following passage we find Peter who had just healed a crippled man telling the Jews they crucified the Son of God and that God sent Jesus to turn people from their evil ways. If we do not turn/repent, we will be destroyed as Jesus is the only one who can forgive sin and the only way to the Father and kingdom of God.

You will note that Peter gave all the glory to God and none to himself. Peter is not the rock that the church has been built on. Jesus is. Every man is a sinner. Rome and the Popes have no authority over us. They are sinners as all men are. Turn your back on pagan Rome and go to Jesus. Only he saves. Jesus said:

  • 28“Come to me, all of you who are weary and loaded down with burdens, and I will give you rest. 29Place my yoke on you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble,n and you will find rest for your souls,o 30because my yoke is pleasant,p and my burden is light.” Matthew 11 ISV
  • Paul said, "8For by such grace you have been saved through faith. This does not come from you; it is the gift of God 9and not the result of actions (works), to put a stop to all boasting.i"

Acts 3 ISV

17“And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance like your leaders. 18This is how God fulfilled what he had predicted through the voice of all the prophets—that his Messiahh would suffer.
  • 19Therefore, repent and turn to him to have your sins blotted out20so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord and so that he may send you Jesus, whom he appointed long ago to be the Messiah.i 
21He must remain in heaven until the time of universal restitution, which God announced long ago through the voice of his holy prophets. 22In fact, Moses said,
  • ‘The Lordj your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to everything he tells you.k 23Any person who will not listen to that prophet will be utterly destroyed from among the people.’l

24“Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who followed him, also announced these days. 25You are the descendants of the prophets and the heirsm of the covenant that God made with yourn ancestors when he told Abraham, ‘Through your descendanto all the families of the earth will be blessed.’p 
  • 26When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning every one of you from your evil ways.”
