Acts 5:31 Repentance to Israel and Forgiveness of Sins

Acts 5:31 (KJV) Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

Our Lord Jesus suffered that we may have forgiveness of sins through His sacrifice. He is both Prince and Saviour in that He is the exalted Son of God at the right hand of the Father in heaven who came upon dismal earth on an eternal rescue mission.

Christ’s mission has been completed, the recipients of His finished work, are His people Israel, the redeemed of God who came to Him in contrition of heart for salvation.

The consummation of Christ’s work will be when He returns to bring the church to glory and to establish His kingdom on earth where there is true righteousness but the depraved nature will still exist till His judgment brings all earthly existence to a heavenly dimension, called in the Scriptures – A New Heaven and the New Earth. Amen.
