Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”

IV. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD
And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
Acts 13:48
v. 21— Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved
v. 39 — This promise is for everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself
v. 39 — This promise is for everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself
v. 41 — So those who received his word
v. 41 — So those who received his word
v. 47 — The Lord added to their number (daily) those who were being saved
This seems to emphasize God’s sovereignty.

v. 47 — The Lord added to their number (daily) those who were being saved
For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”
So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.
Acts
praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.
this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
The Swells of Sovereign Power
V. The Son
“The Christian life is Christ. This is a truth which deeply reassures our souls, focuses our hearts, and simplifies our spiritual lives.
But it is a principle that we perpetually fumble. The veil removed from our eyes in conversion—gives way to clouds over our eyes in trials, and sleepiness in our steps with the spiritual disciplines. The greatest challenges we face, are Christ-clouding distractions.” - John Newton
