Acts 2:37-40  (HCSB)
Forgiveness through the Messiah
37 When they heard this, they came under deep conviction and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Brothers, what must we do?” 38 “Repent,” Peter said to them, “and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” 40 And with many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, “Be saved from this corrupt generation!”

Yesterday we read of Peter standing up for Jesus in this crowd of believers and sceptics. As He concluded the crowd had remorse for their actions, so Peter went on to explain how they could repent of their sins. He went on to tell them about the byproduct of repentance.
