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.
Many people have crummed (Romans 3:23 KJV)
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Trust me alot of people have let this portion of scripture mislead them.
To them, they think sinning is their nature.
Peter spoke to the men of Israel assuring them that for their sins to be remitted, one first has to Repent and then after be baptised .
The greek word for Repent is #Metanoeo meaning to change one's mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one's past sins
Unless one gets to the place of repentance, they will still continue sinning and they will miss out alot on what the Spirit of God has to offer.
Peter also emphasises that in addition to remission of sins, are the gifts of the Holy Ghost.
This means if you are yearning to recieve the gifts of the Holy Spirit and sinning is your nature, you are asking a miss!
Repent, renew your mindset and let the word of God dwell richly in you. Why?
Because you are born of the incorruptible seed which is the word of God. (That is if you're born again)
