”‘I saw the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
26Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will live in hope,
27because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
28You have made known to me the paths of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence.'[e]
29"Brothers, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. 30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. 31Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ,[f] that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay. 32God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. 33Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. 34For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said,
" 'The Lord said to my Lord:
"Sit at my right hand
35until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet." '[g]
36"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."
40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this CORRUPT GENERATION. 41Those who ACCEPTED his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

Obviously this is when Jesus came back from the dead, but the message behind this is that, your sins, regardless of what they are, can be forgiven. One key is that for your sins to BE forgiven, you must truly believe they are.

That time might have been a CORRUPT GENERATION, but ours is as well. To save your self from ways of sin and things that u don’t want to get involved in. u must ISOLATE yourself from all that is CORRUPT. If u do this, you’re chances of happiness and a good life with god more than triple I would say. Yet, it will surely be a battle.

The main thing I was looking at was the last paragraph. It said “He who ACCEPTS… the message” will be baptized, and ultimately have access to heaven. So one of the big factors is ACCEPTING the message of God, if you deny it, it isn’t a good thing.


I’m sorry if this was poor, I’m new at this, but I believe I did my best.


Alex will have this next week, God bless.
