REPENT Acts 17:29-31 Part 2 of 2

"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone--an image made by human design and skill. In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead."  

but now he commands all people everywhere to repent 
Luke 24:46-48  He told them, "This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
Titus 2:11-12  For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, ...

For he has set a day when he will judge the world 
Matthew 10:15  "Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town."

with justice 
Psalm 9:8  He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.
Psalm 96:13  Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.
Psalm 98:8-9  Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

by the man he has appointed 
Acts 10:42  "He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead."

He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead. 
Acts 2:24  "But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.
