Go Deeper

The gospel that Jesus and the apostles preached wasn’t just a bunch of information to be understood and “believed” mentally. It was a radical call to start a new life with Jesus as Savior and King. Because of this, the apostles didn’t just invite people to pray a certain prayer or “ask Jesus into their hearts.” What did they call people to do in response to believing the gospel, and why did they call them to do it?
