Title: Repent and Be Converted.

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

Acts 3:19 KJV

Devotion: This message was delivered to the congregation at the Solomon portico when a lame man was healed by the name of crucified Jesus Christ. The people recognized Peter as lay man and wondered how Peter was able to achieve such a great miracle. 

 Peter told them to repent from their sin meaning to acknowledge that their way of life was wrong and to accept way of God as the only right way. If they repent then they will be able to do greater exploits for Christ. You can do better too.

 In order to be saved, we must accept that our sins are wrong and that God provides the way we should live. This isn't just an intellectual exercise; we need to allow the belief to change us, inside and out. That doesn't mean we'll never sin again. It means our goal is to hate sin as much as God does. If we permit the Holy Spirit in our lives then we will not sin again.

  If we repent then our past sin will be blotted(erased) out and we will have joy both here and hereafter(heaven). Therefore this morning I urge you the reader to watch your ways and return to the way of God. Live your life to please God in total obedience and reverence.

 Dearly beloved, please let us have your opinion on this. Shalom.
