Drastic Change in Christ

Acts 2:36-38

"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."


In the message this morning, we will consider what happens to us when God saves us.  Peter's audience was cut to the heart, and they asked, “What shall we do?”, and he says, “Repent.”  And many of them do.  This involved a drastic change of direction for them, into a relationship with JC and fellowship in His church.  Some of us have experienced that drastic change.  

For others raised in the church, remember that God calls for course corrections in everyone, b/c we all get off track in various ways.  We have to keep trusting that Jesus is the way, not our own opinions.

 

This reminds us of our need to confess our sins.
