Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 5:31

31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to e give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.

See Chap. 2.33.

To conquer and subdue all his enemies, to defend and protect his subjects.

To save from sin according to his name Jesus, Matth. 1.21. viz. from the condemnation that is due unto it, and the pollution that is required by it; repentance is the gift of God; and nothing does more avail with us to repent, than the loss of Christ, (his bitter suffering and death) by whom the world is crucified unto us, Gal. 6.14. and if repentance includes newness of life, (as it does) who would not walk in that way which our blessed Lord hath recommended, and in which onely we can injoy him? that doing as he did, we may come at last to be where he is,

which never fails to accompany true repentance; and is therefore also called repentance unto life, Chap. 11.18.
