What did Peter tell everyone in Acts 3:26?
In Acts 3:26, Peter admonished everyone to turn and to confess their sins and to believe. This universal call required a turning from sin, confession of sin, and belief. Peter spoke these words to all his hearers as part of his preaching.
Les teaches that in Acts 3:26 Peter admonishes everyone—emphatically 'everyone'—to turn and to confess their sins and to believe. This call to repentance and faith is the heart of Peter's message. The surrounding context shows Peter and the other apostles continuing to preach that the Jesus they had crucified had been raised from the dead, which stirred opposition from the Sadducees, who denied resurrection. Despite that, Peter's appeal remained universal: turn, confess, and believe.
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
