Sundanese Bible (Sunda) - KITAB SUCI (LAISUN) 1991
Margi Allah parantos nangtoskeun poe pikeun ngahukum saalam dunya kalawan adilna. Demi nu bakal jadi hakimna hiji manusa anu dipilih ku Mantenna. Hal ieu ku Mantenna parantos diyakinkeun ka unggal jelema, ku jalan nanghikeun eta manusa ti nu maraot!”
What Does This Mean?
This verse says that God has set a day when He will judge the world fairly through Jesus, whom He raised from the dead to show His approval. It is from Paul's speech in Athens.
Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game where everyone gets judged on how they play. The coach says he'll pick a special day to do this and he has chosen one of his players as the judge. To show that this player can be trusted, the coach had him score lots of points in previous games.
Historical Background
Acts was written by Luke around 60-80 AD. This verse comes from Paul's speech at the Areopagus in Athens, Greece, where he spoke to educated Greeks about God and Jesus.
Living It Out Today
In today’s world, this verse encourages us to live righteously knowing that there will be a day of reckoning, which can inspire us to make ethical decisions every day. For example, if you're at work and tempted to take credit for someone else's idea, remember the ultimate judge is watching.
