Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be
justified by the law of Moses.

And by him all that believe are justified (aorist passive ) from all things, from which ye could not
be justified by the law of Moses.

“All things” indicates unlimited atonement. We have been justified from all sins, our position in
Adam, spiritual death, and anything else associated with Satan. This is the conclusion of the
message.

All the messages preached in the synagogues each week were types and shadows of what was

to come. Jesus Christ is the reality of all the prophets, types and shadows.

CLOSING ADMONITION

Act 13:40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

Spoken of in Habakkuk 1:5.

Act 13:41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work
which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder (be shocked), and perish (die): for I work a work in your days,
a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

“Your days” are the days of the New Testament. Paul is warning these men not to be part of
those who will reject Jesus. Habakkuk warned of those who would reject the last day
preaching. In God’s sight their fate was settled: eternal death.

Act 13:42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that
these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

After the strictest Jews leave the synagogue, most of the Gentiles remain and want to hear
more the following week.

GOD’S GRACE (43-49)

The next Sabbath, nearly the entire city arrives to hear Paul’s message. When the Jews see the
multitudes gathered, they becoming envious, but the Word continues to spread throughout the

entire region.
