How should I respond to the offer of salvation?
"And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." Acts 2:38
"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." Romans 10:9–10
You respond in salvation by turning from your sin and placing belief in Jesus and the work he has accomplished on your behalf. By trusting in him, he produces a new life in you. You are now restored to glorify Him by following him and obeying his commands.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
