The Book of Acts

Acts of the Apostles

Luke the Evangelist

The Book of Acts is the fifth book of the New Testament and serves as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. It chronicles the history of the early Christian church, beginning with the ascension of Jesus Christ and ending with Paul's imprisonment in Rome. The book is divided into two main sections: the first focuses on the ministry of Peter in Jerusalem and Samaria (Acts 1–12), and the second follows Paul's missionary journeys throughout the Roman Empire (Acts 13–28). It highlights the transition of the gospel message from a Jewish audience to the Gentiles, the empowerment of believers by the Holy Spirit, and the growth of the church despite persecutions. The book also explores the relationship between Christians and the Roman Empire, showing how Christians could obey both God and the civil authorities.

The Gospel of Luke is the third canonical Gospel of the New Testament and part of the two-volume work Luke–Acts. It presents an orderly account of Jesus’ birth, ministry, journey to Jerusalem, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, with special attention to the poor, outsiders, women, and Gentiles. Scholarly dating commonly places its composition around AD 80–90, and early Christian tradition attributes it to Luke, a companion of Paul.

John the Apostle

Romans

The Epistle to the Romans

Apostle Paul

The Epistle to the Romans is the sixth book in the New Testament and the longest of Paul's thirteen epistles. Written to the Christian community in Rome—likely from Corinth around AD 56–58—it systematically presents core Christian doctrines including justification by faith, the gift of the Spirit, sanctification, God's sovereignty, and the ethical call to live as a living sacrifice. Paul addresses the sinfulness of all humanity (Jew and Gentile alike), explains salvation through grace rather than works, and outlines the place of Israel in God's plan, making it pivotal for Christian theology on faith, grace, sin, and mission.

In Matthew 26, we see two very different responses to Jesus.

Mary pours out what is most valuable to her in extravagant worship, while Judas chooses his own way when Jesus does not give him what he wants.

Religion asks what we can get from Jesus. Redemption recognizes what Jesus has already done for us and responds by surrendering everything to Him. There is no middle ground.

We can live life our own way, or we can fall at the feet of Jesus and pour out our lives for the One who poured out His life for us.
