"Appointed to Eternal Life"

Acts 13:48

New Living Translation

48 When the Gentiles heard this, they were very glad and thanked the Lord for his message; and all who were chosen for eternal life became believers.

Acts 13:48 says, "When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed." This verse captures a moment of joy and acceptance. The Gentiles, who were notoriginally part of God's covenant people, are filled with gladness at the good news of salvation. It reflects God's inclusive love and the widening of His promise of eternal life to all people, beyond ethnic or cultural boundaries.Devotionally, this can inspire us to reflect on God's boundless grace.

Just as the Gentiles rejoiced, we too can celebrate that salvation is offered to everyone who believes. It encourages us to embrace God's message with joy and to share it with others who may feel overlooked or excluded.

May this verse remind you of the joy found in God's inclusive love and inspire you to honor and share His word with openness and gratitude.

Remember, His promise is for all who believe, encouraging us to live with faith and hope.
