5Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with
8 i
me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us

“Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and
29
y
buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had
9
sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the
z
Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that
a b
His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of
c 1 d e
which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received
f
from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
g
‘The LORD said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”’
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
36
crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of
the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

“While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief

priests, 13 at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining
around me and those who journeyed with me. 14 And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a
voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It
is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ 15 So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus,
whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this

purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the

Conversion (faith / repentance)
Definition (G.I. Williams, The Westminster Shorter Catechism – For Study Classes): Conversion may
be defined as a complete revolution in the mind (or heart, or soul) of man, whereby a sinner turns from
all self-esteem and confidence [I like that part] to trust in Christ alone for salvation.

17 lIf therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus

18 When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, n“Then God
has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life.”
13
Note: From the previous scripture, it is interesting to see that even our repentance comes from
God.
Acts 2:36-38 (NKJV)
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
37 Now when they heard this, hthey were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the
apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”

perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. 9 Now I rejoice, not that you
were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner,
n
that you might suffer loss from us in nothing. 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to
o
salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 11 For observe this very
p
thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of
yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all
q
things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 12 Therefore, although I wrote to you, I did not
r
do it for the sake of him who had done the wrong, nor for the sake of him who suffered wrong, but that
our care for you in the sight of God might appear to you.

My people, and I will be your God. 29 I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. I will call for the
n o
grain and multiply it, and bring no famine upon you. 30 And I will multiply the fruit of your trees and
the increase of your fields, so that you need never again bear the reproach of famine among the
p q
nations. 31 Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good; and you will
5 r
loathe yourselves in your own sight, for your iniquities and your abominations. 32 Not for your sake
do I do this,” says the Lord GOD, “let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your own
ways, O house of Israel!”

Justification
Shorter Catechism #33
Justification is an act of God's free grace, wherein he pardoneth all our sins,
and accepteth us as righteous in his sight, only for the righteousness of Christ
imputed to us, and received by faith alone.

condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in
z
justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one
Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
20 Moreover athe law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace
b
abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through
righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
24
Galatians 2:16 (NKJV)
16 aknowing that a man is not 9justified by the works of the law but bby faith in Jesus Christ, even

we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of
the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

Ephesians 4:17-24 (NKJV)
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should v32no longer walk as 6the rest of the
Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated
w
from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;
19 xwho, being past feeling, yhave given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with
greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by
z
Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which
a
grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and
b
that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and
holiness.

Romans 6:1-6 (NKJV)
What shall we say then? a34Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How
b c
shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were
d e
baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him
f g
through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father,
h
even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 iFor if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the
j k
likeness of His resurrection, 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of
1
sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

Death
Well, this one should not take too much explanation; we should all have at least a common knowledge
of this one (that is at least the fact that it happens to us all, apart from those at Christ's return) ...
Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 36
REFER TO: G.I. Williamson's “The Westminster Shorter Catechism”, 2nd ed. Page 174 (Questions
about Death) for discussion.
Soul (With Christ)
Shorter Catechism #37
What benefits do believers receive from Christ at death?
The souls of believers are at their death made perfect in holiness (perhaps something
we did not realize) and do immediately pass into glory, and their bodies, being still united
to Christ (again perhaps not realized), do rest in their graves till the resurrection.
Hebrews 12:22-24 (KJV)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and
to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which
are writtenf37 in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24
g
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant , and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better
things than that of Abel. 38
Luke 23:39-43 (KJV)
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save
thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou
art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds:
but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with
me in paradise.

Body (in the grave)
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 (KJV)
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye

even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 40

shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

What benefits do believers receive from Christ at the resurrection ?
At the resurrection, believers being raised up in glory, shall be openly
acknowledged and acquitted in the day of judgment, and made perfectly
blessed in the full enjoying of God to all eternity.
John 5:24-30 (KJV)
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son
of God: and they that hear shall live. 26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself; 27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is
the Son of man. 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves
shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30 I can of mine own self do nothing:
as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father

Glorification
