Acts 13:42 - 14:28
ActsSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides an insightful interpretation of Acts 13:42-14:28, cautioning against narrow interpretations and stressing the importance of examining the entire passage for a comprehensive understanding. He discusses the potential different interpretations of the verse "appointed for eternal life believed," including predestination versus predisposition towards belief. Despite facing opposition and persecution, Paul and Barnabas continue to preach the gospel and establish churches, appointing elders and reminding new converts to expect tribulations. Paul's rebuke of false teachers in his book of Galatians is also mentioned.
