Notes on this verse:

“Forsake”: An integral part of seeking the Lord (verse 6) is turning from sin (1:16).

John the Baptist had the message that was needed by all of these people. His message was repent and prepare for the coming of the Lord. Jesus’ message was similar, as we see in the next verses.

Matthew 4:17 “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Mark 1:15 “And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

We see in the following verse, that the disciples continued with the message of repentance.

Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
