“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts 2:37-39 KJV
Repent, Get Baptized, Receive.

We're in the middle of the season of Advent--a season of repentance, penance, and returning to God. For we know through our faith that the Lord shall come again in glory, but "about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father". We've been waiting for two thousand years. Maybe we have to wait for two thousand more, or maybe we only have to wait for two more hours. So above all else, let our hearts not grow cold with hate but rather replace each thought of hatred with a return to God, who is beyond all things here on Earth.
Christ has already won the final victory for us. He has made ready the path for our salvation. All we have to do is abide on Earth until we are called to Him, whenever that may be. Prepare yourselves and be ready always.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1 KJV
“Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” 1 Peter 1:16 KJV
“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?” Acts 2:2-8 KJV
