What Shall We Do?

The Apostle Peter in his own strength was unable to be a witness for Jesus. He denied Jesus three times and was ashamed of himself , knowing that he had failed his promise to always be faithful.  Things changed on the day of Pentacost. The Holy Spirit came to the 120 who were praying and waiting on God. They spoke in diverse languages to the crowd of people from many nations and languges so that all understood in their own language. Peter with new Holy Spirit boldness spoke to the crowd, witnessing for Jesus. The crowd asked "what shall we do?"


Act 2:36  Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 

Act 2:37  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? 

Act 2:38  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. 

Act 2:39  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. 

Act 2:40  And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 

Act 2:41  Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 


Rom 10:9  ... if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

Rom 10:10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 


Do you hear the call of God? Repent, turn to Jesus and ask him to forgive you of your sins and to be the Lord of your life. Baptism follows as a testimony of obedience to him.
