Acts is the record of the radically changed “acts” or “actions” of the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ After the Resurrection and ASSENTION. Acts opens with the giving of the Holy Spirit and describes the missionary efforts of His followers to spread the Gospel message to Judea and Samaria.

The apostle Paul is sent to JEW and GENTILE with the message of the Death, Burial and Resurrection for Salvation.
