Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins: and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2.38. Suppose I went into a book-shop, selected a two-volume book, and having put down the price, walked out of the shop carelessly leaving one volume on the counter. When I discovered the oversight, what should I do? I should go straight back to recover the forgotten volume, but I should not dream of paying anything for it. I should simply remind the shopkeeper that both volumes were duly paid for, thank him again for the second one, and without further ado march happily out of the shop with my possession under my arm. Would you not do the same under the same circumstances? But you are under the same circumstances. If you have fulfilled the conditions you are entitled to two gifts, not just one. You have already taken the remission of your sins. Why not just come, and if you have never done so, thank Him for the gift of the Holy Spirit now? ----- Robert W.
