Beloved friends, the invitation to turn away from our sins and be baptised in the Name of Jesus Christ is an invitation to embrace God’s Abundant mercy and grace. Through this act of Repentance and Baptism, we are not only forgiven of our sins but we are also filled with the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live lives of Holiness and Righteousness. Let us not take this gift lightly, but let us joyfully receive the Forgiveness offered to us and allow the Holy Spirit to work in and through us. May we live in the freedom and power that comes from being washed clean and filled with the Spirit of God.
