READ
Acts 2:36-39
36 “So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!”
37 Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.”

REFLECT
What a basic question we all must ask - What should we do? It’s not enough to be sorry for our sins. We should repent, ask for forgiveness, and change the direction of our life from selfishness and rebellion and turn toward Christ. Then, we can live like forgiven people.
