A Promise That is Good for Everyone!

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” Act 2:38-39

I love this because "Peter said" these things to them. Remember he was the disciple who had cut off the guard's ear, he denied knowing Jesus three times and he ran to the tomb to see for himself that Jesus rose from the dead and was so excited! Peter loved Jesus, he was friends with Jesus and he was discipled by Jesus. He saw first hand of the many miracles Jesus did! Was Peter perfect? No but he loved his Lord. And Peter knew this: “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

Read verse 39 one more time...for the promise is to you and to your children and to all who are afar off! His salvation is for everyone! Even for those of you who think you've gone too far or have "done" too much. He died for your sin...the price is already paid. He knew that you would do what you did before you did it! I am so excited that this promise is for everyone! Rich, poor, old, young, no matter the color of your skin or no matter what you have ever done...nothing disqualifies you as long as you repent and accept Jesus as your personal Savior and have a relationship with Him! He wants to spend time with you! He wants you to know Him. The promise is there waiting we just have to take Him up on it!

Thank You Lord for Your promise that crosses all barriers! Thank You for Loving me! I love you Jesus...You rock!
