[8] God knows everyone, even their thoughts, and he accepted these non-Jewish people. He showed this to us by giving them the Holy Spirit the same as he did to us.
[9] To God, those people are not different from us. When they believed, God made their hearts pure.
[11] No, we believe that we and these people will be saved the same way—by the grace of the Lord Jesus.”

[22] In those cities they helped the followers grow stronger in their faith and encouraged them to continue trusting God. They told them, “We must suffer many things on our way into God’s kingdom.”

[16] “In the past God let all the nations do what they wanted.
[17] But God was always there doing the good things that prove he is real. He gives you rain from heaven and good harvests at the right times. He gives you plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.”

[8] In Lystra there was a man who had something wrong with his feet. He had been born crippled and had never walked.
[9] He was sitting and listening to Paul speak. Paul looked straight at him and saw that the man believed God could heal him.
[10] So Paul shouted, “Stand up on your feet!” The man jumped up and began walking around.

[3] So Paul and Barnabas stayed in Iconium a long time, and they spoke bravely for the Lord. They told the people about God’s grace. The Lord proved that what they said was true by causing miraculous signs and wonders to be done through them.

[46] But Paul and Barnabas spoke very boldly. They said, “We had to tell God’s message to you Jews first, but you refuse to listen. You have made it clear that you are not worthy of having eternal life. So we will now go to those who are not Jews.
[47] This is what the Lord told us to do: ‘I have made you a light for the other nations, to show people all over the world the way to be saved.’” Isaiah 49:6
[48] When the non-Jewish people heard Paul say this, they were happy. They gave honor to the message of the Lord, and many of them believed it. These were the ones chosen to have eternal life.

[38-39] Brothers, understand what we are telling you. You can have forgiveness of your sins through this Jesus. The Law of Moses could not free you from your sins. But you can be made right with God if you believe in Jesus.
