Acts 1:6-14 recounts the ascension of Jesus Christ, highlighting its significance in redemptive history. Christ instructs His disciples on the coming power of the Holy Spirit and their mission to witness globally. The passage emphasizes the historical truth of Christ's resurrection and return, offering believers hope and a call to faithful worship and witness.
Guarding the Gospel Against End-Times Error
Full-preterism claims that Christ's second coming and resurrection occurred by AD 70, which redefines hope and diminishes Christ’s authority, contradicting historic orthodoxy. This view empties the church's purpose, faith, and sacraments of meaning, leading to resignation rather than hope, ultimately denying the promise of future physical resurrection and renewal.
