Acts 2:36-39
“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” 37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “ Men and brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Then Peter said to them, “ Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

This is what we must do with Jesus Christ when we hear that He died in our place for what we deserved and could never earn before God ourselves - turn from sin to Him (repent), believing, and be identified with His death and resurrection in baptism. Then He makes us new, lives in us as His Spirit, all because He called us to Himself.
