Daily Walk Through the New Testament

Read Acts 13:26-52

Acts 13:48 says the Gentiles who trusted Christ for salvation were glad. Here, that word means more than just being happy. The word is used in other passages to describe a positive outlook in the midst of persecution and suffering. That’s much more substantial than superficial emotion. That verse also says the Gentiles “glorified the Word of the Lord.” These are the responses of people who have been saved by God’s grace.
Did you respond similarly when you first put your faith in Christ? Do you still give God thanks for His salvation at this point in your journey with Him? Pause to recall His great acts of grace in your life, and praise Him for them! Let your heart develop deeper gladness in Him and a stronger desire to glorify Him every day.
