Forgiveness, It's Free

“Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  For the promise is for you and your children and all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.””  Acts 2:38-39

Jesus does not ration forgiveness; He gives it away for free.  When Jesus calls, all we need to do is answer.  When we turn to Jesus, He turns our lives upside down.  The ground at the foot of the cross is level.  Jesus does not see CEOs, kings, and waitresses.  Jesus sees repentant sinners, and says, “You are forgiven.  You are loved.  You are mine.”
