Therefore, they were guilty of the sin of murder and needed forgiveness. I was also so guilty of the sin of murder, per the Bible, because of hatred I held towards others. My sins put Jesus on the cross.
Why would Peter give me a different solution to my dilemma than he gave to those in Acts 2? Salvation by grace is the only the thing that can "
break the curse" you spoke of. If Peter was offering them anything other than salvation by grace with his command in
Acts 2:38, then he was teaching works based salvation and the curse was not lifted from those Jews.
