Acts 9:31

There is no distinction between Jewish converts and Gentile nor between Catholic and Protestant. We are all the same united by the blood of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.In peace, united in the fear of the Lord and in the direction provided by the Holy Spirit we draw others to Christ. 

If we hold Him up others will long to have the hope that we have in Him.

Luke (the narrator) highlights the successful beginnings of Christ’s promise to the apostles about the spread of the gospel. Faithlife Bible.

This peace was not due solely to Saul’s conversion. Tiberius, the emperor of Rome, died around this time. He was replaced by Caligula, who wanted to erect a statue of himself in the temple at Jerusalem. Thus Jewish energy was directed away from persecuting Christians and toward Caligula. Here we see God’s sovereign hand at work, giving the early church a short season of respite. NKJ Bible.

Acts 9:31 (NKJV)

³¹ Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

Psalm 34:9 (NKJV)

⁹ Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!

There is no want to those who fear Him.
