Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the First Principles of the Gospel: A Letter Having convinced the people that Christ is the Saviour of the world, what next must we preach? Let us examine and see. After Peter had convinced his hearers that they must believe on the Lord Jesus to obtain salvation, they were pricked in their hearts and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do P - Acts. Ii. 37. What did Pet-er tell them Did he tell them to come to the anxious seat and be prayed for? No. Did he tell them to go home and pray and try to get religion No. Did he tell them to give themselves away to Christ? No. Did he tell them that mere faith on the Lord Jesus would save them? No, - we find he told them none of these things. What did he tell them? We will read his own words: Then Peter said unto them, repent. -acts 11. 38. We find John the Baptist, in Matt. Iii. 2, calling upon the pe0p1e to repent; also in chap. Iv. 17, we read: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say - repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The twelve Apostles, when they were sent out by Christ, preached that men should repent. Mark vi. 12. Paul, while preaching to the men of Athens, said: And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent. - Acts xvn. 30. In reading the New Testament, we can find numer' ous passages where Christ and His Apostles preached repentance.
