Los Hechos de los Apóstoles 2.6

"The Acts of the Apostles" is a comprehensive account of the events, deeds, and miracles experienced by the apostles following the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven.

This text details the history of Jesus' apostles, illustrating their lives, works, and transformation through the influence of many followers of Christ. It sheds light on the apostolic church and its profound significance for contemporary believers. The militant church engages with the triumph of the church; throughout its struggles and trials, it remains focused on the vision of victory.

The book is critically important for understanding the history of Christianity, as it presents a pivotal moment in its development. It has been aptly described as a continuation of the Gospels and a precursor to the Epistles.

The Gospels conclude with the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, while the Epistles (both Pauline and Catholic) assume that Christian communities are already somewhat established. "The Acts" fills this gap between the Gospels and Epistles by narrating the spread of Christianity following the Lord's ascension.

Formally known as "Acts" or "Πράξεις τῶν Ἀποστόλων" in Ancient Greek and "Āctūs Apostolōrum" in Latin, this fifth book of the New Testament chronicles the history of what is referred to as the apostolic period.

The narrative includes significant events such as Paul’s conversion, showcasing early Christian history throughout the remainder of the New Testament era. After Jesus' triumph over Satan and return to heaven, adversarial forces shifted their focus to the Church on earth.

This work contains compelling tales of fierce persecution alongside unwavering loyalty to God. Key figures such as Peter, Paul, James, John, Luke, Barnabas, Stephen, Mark, and other early apostles spread the wonderful message of the Gospel throughout the known world at that time. Many, determined not to forsake their faith, ultimately gave their lives.

By studying this book, readers will gain deeper insights into how the early church was shaped with the assistance of the Great Comforter, the Holy Spirit. It also recounts the various challenges and glorious moments faced by those who significantly altered the historical trajectory of our world simply by being alongside their great teacher, Jesus Christ.

The author of this book, Ellen G. White, narrates in detail how all of heaven has been working toward human salvation and that every effort made from that time until now will be greatly rewarded in heaven.
