Acts 13:26-49

26 “Fellow children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent. 27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. 28 Though they found no proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him executed. 29 When they had carried out all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. 30 But God raised him from the dead, 31 and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to our people.

32 “We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors 33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm:

“‘You are my son;
    today I have become your father.’[b]

34 God raised him from the dead so that he will never be subject to decay. As God has said,

“‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’[c]

35 So it is also stated elsewhere:

“‘You will not let your holy one see decay.’[d]

36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. 37 But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.

38 “Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. 39 Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses. 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

41 “‘Look, you scoffers,
    wonder and perish,
for I am going to do something in your days
    that you would never believe,
    even if someone told you.’[e]”

42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people invited them to speak further about these things on the next Sabbath. 43 When the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy. They began to contradict what Paul was saying and heaped abuse on him.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:

“‘I have made you[f] a light for the Gentiles,
    that you[g] may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’[h]”

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

49 The word of the Lord spread through the whole region. 50 But the Jewish leaders incited the God-fearing women of high standing and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their region. 51 So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium. 52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman

”For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. "Romans 5:17
Sin is a devious thing in us that Paul personifies in Romans chapter 7. Sin takes on all the characteristics of a person:it is crouching and seizing an opportunity to attack (7:8); it can deceive (7:11); it dwells (7:17); it can kill (7:11). This is the way sin is described in Romans 7. It is to this realm of sin that subjective condemnation comes. Whenever we identify with the realm of sin, whenever we own it and say," Yes, that is right, I am feeling this way, "then the law of God immediately comes in. When the law is allowed to come in and speak to the reaction of sin in our flesh, at that moment we die with a torrent of condemnation. But now that the organic union has been established in our spirit, when the enemy comes and sin shows up and knocks on our door, we have to declare," He has the sin and I have the righteousness! "He has the sin! He bore it! He took it! He paid for it! I do not have it anymore! I have the righteousness! The righteousness that I have is the righteousness that flows directly from Calvary, where Christ's blood was spilt and shed for me. So in this organic union there is a glorious experiential reality that we can confess again and again. He was made sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him-- in union with Him, in fellowship with Him.
Whenever the enemy comes to accuse us, we need to say," Satan, the moment you touch sin in my flesh, you touch what God condemned at the cross. You are touching what Jesus has borne away. So you must talk to Him, not me. My Jesus has my sin and I have His righteousness. "Oh, brothers and sisters, we have to see that we have a new, organic" I. "In this organic" I, "our spirit is life because of righteousness. And we must be clear about whose righteousness this is. It is not mine, it is His. It is that imputed righteousness given as a gift. It is the kind that is given not on the basis of works, but on the basis of grace. You do not work for this kind of righteousness. It is the kind that you receive and rejoice in (Rom. 5:17)
