Acts 5:28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
The apostles and early believers went everywhere telling everyone about Jesus. They filled the city with their doctrine. That means they told everyone who Jesus was and what He had done. They would have had to explain that Jesus is God, the deity of Christ. They would have had to tell that all had sinned against God. The reality of hell and heaven would have been explained. The forgiveness of sin by the shed blood of Jesus would have been their message.
They were telling everyone about Jesus and all that God had done through Him. Do you realize that this means that they had to know Jesus and all about Him? They had to understand how and why He could save.
Have you studied the Bible enough to get some basic doctrine into your heart? Have you learned enough to begin teaching others. It is our job to fill the entire world with the truth of His Word.
