This is a recap of the themes weaved throughout the book of the Acts of the Apostles.
Major themes in Acts that recur in the apostolic letters
- The actions of the believers in Yeshua as Messiah are part of the history of Israel.
- The spread of the words of God to the world via exiles and P’rushim (Pharisee) evangelism prepared the world for the arrival of the living Word of God, the Salvation of God.
- As with ancient Israel, some believed the testimony of God but many didn’t.
- A “new covenant” would come via a widespread act of the Spirit of God to change hearts.
- The offerings proscribed in the Torah pointed forward to the ultimate offering of Yeshua.
- The restoration of Israel involves the coming of the Kingdom of God.
- The Kingdom of God always was intended to reconcile the whole world to God, thus including all nations.
