You have to repent

To read the Bible in a year, read Acts 3 on June 18, In the year of our Lord 2016

Some people so emphasize grace that they disregard the need for repentance, but Peter preached to the Jews, saying,

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before…” (Acts 3.19–20). 

Do you want seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord? Repent and be converted! Do you want Jesus in your life? Repent and be converted.

Truly, refreshment from the Lord and the Lord Himself in our lives, are both gifts of grace, but the Lord gives them when we repent.
