We have an Advocate with the Father
We learn to follow Jesus one step at a time
Ac. 1:1-3
In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.
The Gospels teach us about God for us, while Acts teaches us about God through us
Acts 28: 30-31
He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance.
The church is a means to the Kingdom
Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
The Kingdom is God's sovereign rule resulting in human beings giving God the worship He rightfully deserves
Acts 1:9-11
And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”
John 14:12
Whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
Heb. 7:25
Consequently, He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
