Following the discourse of Jesus’ crucifixion (by men) and His resurrection (by God) as recorded in Acts 2:36, by Peter and the rest of the apostles, the people who heard this were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and the apostles, WHAT SHALL WE DO (to be saved)?
Peter’s response was simple yet profound. He responded by saying
- 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
The same is answer today to all that seek eternal life and who long for a relationship (not religion) with God, our creator, maker and all-in-all.
Point(s) to Ponder:
- Is our heart being pricked?
- If so, are we willing to repent, so our sins are remitted and we shall receive God the Holy Spirit in us?
How can one Repent?
Say the following prayer,
Lord God, our Father
I acknowledge that I am not right with You and/or with man,
I believe that you sent your son Jesus Christ for me
Jesus, I thank you that you came and took my place, for my sin,
I believe that you were crucified (by men) and raised to life (by God)
I confess my wrong doings and sins and pray that you forgive them all
I accept you as my Lord and Master.
I am willing to do what you want me to do.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray
Amen (So be it)
