There is no salvation apart from repentance. Yesterday Peter called people to repentance and faith, and again today, people are called to repent and believe.
Before we can value our salvation, we need to understand our need for salvation. Too many of us feel like we are owed salvation or that we deserve this amazing gift. Not true! Christ died for our sinfulness. He gave His life because we could not save ourselves. His love drove Him to the cross. His life made our righteousness possible.
Only when we "repent" of all we have done, can we accept the awesome gift of salvation. Until a person realizes they are "lost", they have no desire to be "saved". We need salvation.
