“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation.” So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.”
‭‭Acts‬ ‭2:36-41‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,This stands out because Peter says, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Why would Peter start with repent and then baptism? Jesus started with repent also. What does it say if we don’t repent? Does repentance acknowledge our sinful nature and thus acknowledge our need of a Savior? The world will tell you that there is no need for repentance because you can have your own truth and then you can seek your own will. Please pray that we and our friends are thankful today that Christ made us sinless in the eyes of God purely because of His death on the cross. Please pray for Freddy and Phyllis Killgore.
