##### "The message of his grace" #####
|
|

The message of Jesus is the message that God will show grace to those who believe in Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/grace]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/believe]])

##### Zeus and Hermes #####
|
|
|

The Gentiles in the Roman Empire worshiped many different false gods who do not really exist. Paul and Barnabas told them to believe in the "living God," Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]])

|
##### "We must enter into the kingdom of God through many sufferings." #####
|

Jesus told his followers before he died that everyone who followed him would suffer persecution. Paul is saying the same thing using different words.
