TSK · Acts 17:30

The watchman replies,“Morning is coming, but then night. If you want to ask, ask; come back again.”

From that time Jesus began to preach this message:“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!”

He said,“The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel!”

No, I tell you! But unless you repent you will all perish as well!”

and repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

When they heard this, they ceased their objections and praised God, saying,“So then, God has granted the repentance that leads to life even to the Gentiles.”

For as I went around and observed closely your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:‘To an unknown god.’ Therefore what you worship without knowing it, this I proclaim to you.

I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you

Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

God publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed.

Live in Holiness So I say this, and insist in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.

For the time that has passed was sufficient for you to do what the non-Christians desire. You lived then in debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, carousing, drinking bouts, and wanton idolatries.
