How do we know that God gives repentance to Israel?

Answered in 1 source

Acts 5:31 confirms that God granted repentance and forgiveness specifically to Israel, indicating His redemptive purpose.

In Acts 5:31, it is affirmed that God has exalted Jesus 'to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.' This highlights that the offering of repentance is not a universal promise but specifically applied to the elect among Israel. This understanding deepens the appreciation of Jesus’ role as the Messiah, who not only fulfills the sacrificial system but also actively grants repentance. Believers are assured that just as the early church believed, so too have all Christians received the same grace which propels the mission of the church to proclaim this truth to all nations, confirming God’s unwavering commitment to His people.
