Acts 2:21 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 2:21

And it shall come to pass
Even at that time, when these signs shall appear, and the destruction is hastening on, that

whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord;
shall believe in the Lord Jesus Christ with the heart, and shall confess him with the mouth, and shall worship him in Spirit and in truth, and submit to all his ordinances and commands; for invocation of the Lord includes the whole of worship, internal and external:

shall be saved;
or delivered from that temporal destruction which came upon the Jews, as the Christians were by removing from Jerusalem to Pella, as they were directed ^F21; and shall be saved with a spiritual and everlasting salvation by Jesus Christ; (See Gill on Romans 10:13).

Acts 2:21 In-Context

19 I will display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, to usher in the day of the Lord-- that great and illustrious day;

21 and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'

22 "Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels and signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know, Him--

23 delivered up through God's settled purpose and foreknowledge--you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death.
