Dialogue: 0,0:08:49.37,0:08:56.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So Jesus was preaching that the time was\Nnear and people need to repent
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.14,0:09:01.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and believe in the gospel. \NWe read that in Mark 1:15.

Dialogue: 0,0:09:05.94,0:09:14.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the gift of the Holy Spirit. Why?\NBecause He could not do that at that time.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:14.09,0:09:17.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because at that time Jesus \Nwas walking here on earth.

Dialogue: 0,0:10:36.16,0:10:39.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, when Jesus walked here on earth\NHe could only say:

Dialogue: 0,0:11:07.83,0:11:13.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we see it in the Book of Acts,\Nnot in the 24 letters. Why?
Dialogue: 0,0:11:13.06,0:11:17.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the 24 letters\Nwe have in the Bible,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:17.24,0:11:23.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have to understand that 24 letters\Nwere written to already believers.
