24 Yes, and aall the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also1 foretold these days.  
25 aYou are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, b‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’  
26 To you afirst, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, bin turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”

Acts 3:25

Ye are the children of the prophets - This is the argumentum AD hominem : as ye are the children or disciples of the prophets, ye are bound to believe their predictions, and obey their precepts; and not only so, but ye are entitled to their promises. Your duty and your interest go hand in hand; and there is not a blessing contained in the covenant which was made with your fathers but belongs to you. Now, as this covenant respected the blessings of the Gospel, you must believe in Jesus Christ, in order to be put in possession of all those blessings.
