The Holy Bible - Acts

The Holy Bible is a collection of books. So I have split them up. I will read it in 1 year, every day ~15 minutes of reading.

Why read it?

The Book of Acts, written by Luke around 80 AD, tells what happened after Jesus rose and went to heaven. It shows the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost and the church growing from Jerusalem to Rome. We follow Peter, Paul, and others as they preach, heal, and face prison for Christ.

You will see miracles, bold speeches, and the gospel reaching Jews and Gentiles. This book fits anyone who wants to learn how the church began and how the Spirit works today.

Favourite quote

In Acts 4:12, Peter declares:

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

This clear statement shows Jesus is the only way to God. It gives courage to share the good news.

What I Loved

The conversion of Saul in chapter 9 grips me. A fierce enemy of Christians meets the risen Jesus on the road to Damascus. He is blinded, then healed, and becomes Paul, the great missionary (Acts 9:1-19). This sudden change proves no one is beyond God’s reach and that He can turn the worst opponent into His servant.

Key Takeaway

Acts teaches that the Holy Spirit empowers believers to spread the gospel. Despite persecution, the church grows because Jesus is alive and building it (Acts 1:8). The book calls us to trust the Spirit, speak boldly, and welcome all who repent. It reminds us that God’s plan moves forward through ordinary people filled with His power.
