Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be
baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your
children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall
call.
Repent.
Be baptized in the
name of Jesus Christ.
Why?
For the remission of
sins.
If we repent.
If we are baptized
in the name of Jesus Christ.
We will receive the
Holy Ghost.
This was a promise
to those being spoken to and to their children and to US! This is a promise to
all whom the Lord our God calls.
Jesus
said…Mat_9:13 But go ye and learn what
that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call
the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
The sinners are
called to repent.
Luk_5:32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.
The sinners are
called.
So many believe the
righteous are called, but they can't be called as those being righteous because
we are all sinners.
Rom_3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God
Rom_5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have
sinned
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous,
no, not one
The righteous cannot
be called, the sinners are called and they are called to repent.
To have remorse for
the sins we commit. To have a desire to not sin. To desire to follow the love
of God.
We have a promise-
and that promise is of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. We who are AFAR
off from the days of the apostles have this promise just as they had the
promise and all they personally witnessed to.
We need to believe
in the promise, it is a promise God will never break.
Please, let us
repent, let us be baptized and believe in our Savior, Jesus Christ now and
forever!
Through the
righteousness of Christ alone we can live forever in Him.
