Book of Acts
The
Book of Acts was written by Luke as a companion volume to his gospel, Luke, and
it describes what Jesus continued to do and teach after He returned to heaven.
The
first chapter outlines how the gospel went from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria
and then to the ends of the earth. It describes a transition from ministry to Jews
to ministry to Gentiles and explains how the gospel got from Jerusalem to Rome.
Luke
wrote Acts with Paul evangelizing Jewish leaders in his rented room in Rome
while under house arrest.
Dr.
Luke may have realized his Book of Acts would never be completed until the end
of church age. The Acts of the Holy
Spirit working through His servants would continue, reaching and evangelizing
each new generation until the Lord call His church to heaven.
The
same Holy Spirit is present and available to God’s sons and daughters today.
God offers His children the boldness and courage to walk without fear and to
own the name of Jesus without hesitation or embarrassment. We can take note
that “we have been with Jesus.”
Please read the Book listed so that you can understand the word of God to
its fullness. This study comes from The Jeremiah Study Bible, The Bible for
Hope, The King James Bible and the Nelson’s Quick Reference Bible Commentary
