Acts 5:31-32 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” The Holy Spirit is the witness that Jesus is the one who give you repentance and that he gives you forgiveness. Since these statements were spoken to and against the chief priest and the members of the Sanhedrin, it is not obedience to the Law but the obedience of faith. Acts 6:7 7 So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.
