The Birth of the Christian Church

DAY 7 OF 20

After Saul’s conversion, he began to preach the gospel in Jerusalem until he was forced to flee. Paul disappears from the book of Acts for a time, and Luke changes his focus back to the Apostle Peter. The Jewish nation had been taught to remain set apart from Gentiles because of their unbelief. The greatest issue facing the Christian movement would be the inclusion of the Gentiles. God chose Peter to pave the way so the Gospel message would be opened to the entire world—Jew and Gentile alike.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
