Acts 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.”
What it means
Peter answers a crowd pierced to the heart with a clear door home: turn from your sin, be baptized, and receive forgiveness in the name of Jesus. This is not a demand to clean yourself up first but an invitation to lay down the old life and be washed. Christ has already done the saving work on the cross. The Holy Spirit comes as a gift, not a wage. Whoever comes to Him is met with mercy, made new, and welcomed into the family of God.
