To give repentance and forgiveness of sins to God¡¯s (chosen) people requires Christ to be exalted as a ruling Leader and Savior. His (sovereign) ruling causes and leads God¡¯s chosen people to (repent), and His salvation, which is based on His redemption, affords them (forgiveness) of sins.
Repentance is for (forgiveness) of sins (Mark 1:4). On God's side, forgiveness of sins is based on Christ¡¯s (redemption) (Eph. 1:7); on man's side, forgiveness of sins is through man¡¯s (repentance).
(Obedience) is the way and the condition for one to receive and enjoy the Spirit of God.(See Acts 5:31 note 3, note 4; 32 note 3)
