It makes my heart glad that so many in Peter’s audience were receptive to the Gospel message. Right now, as I write this, there’s a days-long revival happening at a college in Kentucky. People are responding to the truth that Jesus saves. When we sincerely repent, not only are we forgiven, which is a wonderful gift in and of itself!, but we are given the indwelling of God’s own Spirit. When the Spirit enters your life, you have everything you need to follow God’s will, everything you need to live victoriously in a sin-fallen world. Temptations abound. False messages are everywhere. But this is truth: Jesus is Messiah and Lord. Jesus saves, and the Spirit enables and empowers us to live in a way that shines His light. Nothing in this world will last beyond our physical lives; only a relationship with God through Jesus Christ will be ours throughout eternity.
