The Birth of the Christian Churchနမူနာ

The message of the gospel had become influential, especially in the areas where Paul’s ministry had planted churches. The gospel's effect has resulted in changed lives, and the culture is changing as a result. Paul can revisit some of those first congregations established on earlier missionary trips. He can remain for extended periods of time, preaching and teaching. The third missionary journey shows the evidence of people whose lives have been changed by their faith in Christ.

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. (2 Timothy 3:12)
