Responding to God's Call
Reading
Acts 2:37-41
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?38 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.39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Devotional
When convicted by Peter's message, the crowd asked, "What shall we do?" Peter's response outlines the steps of salvation: repentance, baptism in Jesus' name, and receiving the Holy Spirit. This mirrors the sermon's emphasis on fully embracing God's salvation. Consider your own journey of faith. Have you fully responded to God's call on your life? If not, what's holding you back? Whether you need to take initial steps of faith or recommit to following Christ wholeheartedly, today is the day to respond to God's invitation for a deeper relationship.
