The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." (Acts 5:30-32 ESV)
". . . because our lives are meant to be all about him. That's the orthodoxy, the right belief, that repentance, the reorienting of our lives so that our whole lives are about Jesus Christ."
"But I do want to point out that Peter doesn't just do the right thing because it's the right thing to do. . . . If you're doing the right thing just because it's the right thing to do then it's the wrong thing. The reason that we, as Christians, do the right thing is because Jesus calls us to do it."
