AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 3:26 "It was for you first of all that God raised up His Servant and Son [Jesus], and sent Him to bless you by turning every one of you from your wicked ways." [Acts 2:24; 3:22] |
Bible Question: What did this verse mean to Peter's audience and by extension, to use today? Peter's point in Acts to his Jewish audience was typically getting them to reverse course and acknowledge Christ as the Messiah. Here in this verse in particular it seems he seems to be taking a different angle indicating that Christ will turn us from our sins. What a great declaration, since we can't overcome sin on our own. Is this an accurate way to view Peter's statement in this verse? |
Bible Answer: Oops! Typo. I meant to say, "and by extension, to us today." I may have asked the question in an awkward way. What I'm getting at is that Peter seems to be saying that Jesus will help us separate from our wicked ways - our sin in this life, not just save us from the wages of that sin. Does that seem to be a reasonable understanding of this verse? |
