The Gospel's Core Message
Commentators agree that this verse marks the sermon's climax. After establishing Jesus as the resurrected Messiah, Paul declares the primary benefit of His work: the forgiveness of sins. Scholars note this is the 'keynote' of the gospel, a consistent theme from John the Baptist, Jesus, and Peter, representing the core of the 'glad tidings.'
