Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
This looks to me to be speaking of Jesus after His resurrection, which is when Peter is speaking to them that crucified Him.
I say the significance of this, is that by His resurrection He is now made both Lord and Christ for the whole world, and not just the Jews and born children of Israel after the flesh.
We know He was already both Lord and Christ in the flesh, because Scripture says Jesus Christ came in the flesh, and not just a man called Jesus.
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
He was born king of the Jews in being made flesh, but He is now made Lord and Kind for all the earth, by His resurrection.
I believe this is another reason for the importance of believing in His resurrection, otherwise, He would have been Lord and Christ for the Jews only, and not for the rest of us.
Jesus is made by God both Lord and Christ for our good, and not for our dominion only, because He is also the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, and not for the Jews only.
Without believing in His resurrection, we cannot be believing Him as Lord and Christ and Savior.
Otherwise, He would remain a past Jew, that claimed to be a born king of Israel from the house of David. He would be just another Jew claiming to be messiah.
