BE BAPTIZED“For the forgiveness of your sins”
• John the Baptist proclaimed a “baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins” (Mk 1:4, Lk 3:3)

• Jesus & Disciples baptized (Jn 3:22, 26; 4:1-2)
![Page 9: Acts 2:37-38 ~ Now What? Step 1: Repent!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061515/58ec9c5e1a28ab34138b468f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
“Forgiveness, pardon, is not an act which takes place within the soul of the person who is guilty;
it takes place in the mind of the person who forgives,
and it cannot be known to the person forgiven except by some medium of communication…
![Page 10: Acts 2:37-38 ~ Now What? Step 1: Repent!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061515/58ec9c5e1a28ab34138b468f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When it is God who forgives,
it is an act of the divine mind in reference to the sinner,
and not a change within the sinner himself.
![Page 11: Acts 2:37-38 ~ Now What? Step 1: Repent!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061515/58ec9c5e1a28ab34138b468f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It is an act which from its very nature cannot take place
until there has already occurred within the sinner such a change of heart and purpose
as can make it proper in God, even on the ground of atonement in Christ, to extend pardon.
![Page 12: Acts 2:37-38 ~ Now What? Step 1: Repent!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061515/58ec9c5e1a28ab34138b468f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In other words, the whole inward change which the sinner is required to undergo
must take place before the sin can be forgiven.”
McGarvey, pp. 44-45
