Acts describes the inclusion of the Gentiles in God’s ultimate people, the church. That church starts with—and is initially made up almost exclusively of—Jews. Acts is at pains to show that the means by which God will reach the Gentiles is by first restoring a remnant of his covenant people.
The LORD is to be the centre of his people’s life. He is literally at the centre of their life, living in the centre of their camp. And he is figuratively at the centre of their life, dictating when they can and can’t move and the conditions under which they can approach him.
The Spirit restores what sin distorted, conforming us to God’s likeness in Christ. Transformation begins with faith and deepens as we grow in the knowledge of God, are sanctified in holiness, live out righteousness, and hope in eternal life.
