The Acts of the Apostles
Many will by faith receive Christ as their Redeemer. To them will be
fulfilled the words, “As many as received Him, to them gave He power
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.”
John 1:12
.
Among the Jews are some who, like Saul of Tarsus, are mighty
in the Scriptures, and these will proclaim with wonderful power the
immutability of the law of God. The God of Israel will bring this to
pass in our day. His arm is not shortened that it cannot save. As His
servants labor in faith for those who have long been neglected and
despised, His salvation will be revealed.

“Thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the
house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face
now wax pale. But when he seeth his children, the work of Mine
hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify My name, and sanctify
the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel. They also that
erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured
shall learn doctrine.”
Isaiah 29:22-24
