Scripture

Acts 3

19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,

Observation

When we hear of mud slides happening in a certain place we sometimes hear that an entire village, or community has been wiped out. We understand the phrase “wiped out” when we hear of the terrible power of a tsunami, or a category five hurricane, or things wiped out that were in the path of a tornado. Or we understand the phrase “wiped out” in a positive way when we talk about wiping out a terrible disease like polio, or aids, or cholera.

Our sins can be wiped out too, but there is only One way to wipe them out, “Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord”. There is salvation in no one else! There is no other name in all of heaven for people to call on to save them." (Acts 4:12 NLT) Only Jesus can wipe out our sins.

Application

I will use the word; “repent” with someone today to help them understand God’s love for them.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for wiping out my sins. Help me to help others grasp this truth. Peter and John met a crippled man that day and they helped him be set free from his sin. What happened in his heart was more important than his physical healing. Give me the boldness of Peter and John today. Completely fill me and control me with Your Holy Spirit.
