# Acts 14 General Notes # #### Special concepts in this chapter #### ##### "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." (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/falsegod]]) #### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter #### ##### "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. ## Links: ## * __[Acts 14:1](../../act/14/01.md)__ __[<<](../13/intro.md) | [>>](../15/intro.md)__
