Definition: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Explanation: Okay, letās break down this verse from Acts 13:39. Itās a really important and profound statement about Godās grace and how we can receive forgiveness. Hereās what it means in simpler terms: āAnd by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.ā Let's unpack it piece by piece: "Acts 13:39" : This is a specific passage in the book of Acts ā itās about a meeting between the apostles and the Jewish leaders. āBy himā : This refers to Jesus Christ. Heās the central figure of this verse. āAll that believeā : This means everyone who believes in Jesus, regardless of their background or past actions ā everyone . It's about genuine faith and trust in Him. āAre justified from all thingsā : This is a big one! "Justified" means being declared righteous or forgiven by God. āFrom all thingsā means everything , not just sins that we can get punished for. It means forgiveness of our sins, peace with God, and a new life with Him. āFrom which ye could not be justified by the law of Mosesā : This is where it gets really interesting. The law of Moses ā those rules and laws given to Moses ā was very important in ancient Jewish tradition. It was a set of guidelines about how to live, and it contained many rules that were seen as being imposed by God, rather than earned through good works. So, what does this mean practically? Basically, the verse says that Godās grace alone through Jesus Christ is enough for everyone who believes . It means that we don't need to follow all the rules of the law of Moses (or any other system) to be accepted into Godās loving relationship. The law itself doesnāt earn forgiveness; it only points towards it! In essence, itās a powerful message about: Godās unconditional love: He wants everyone to be in a relationship with Him. Faith over works: It emphasizes that true faith (believing) is more important than following rules or performing good deeds. Forgiveness through Jesus: We receive forgiveness for our sins because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, not because we have earned it through anything else. Does this mean we donāt need to follow the law? Absolutely NOT! The verse says that all who believe are justified, meaning they are declared righteous and forgiven by God. The law still matters, but it's a guide for living a life pleasing to God. Do you want me to explain any part of this verse in more detail, or would you like me to relate it to a specific concept (like forgiveness)?
