SALVATION Acts 13:46-48 Part 2 of 2

Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. For this is what the Lord has commanded us: 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.' (Isaiah 49:6)" When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.  

I have made you a light for the Gentiles that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth
Luke 2:32  "... a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel."
Isaiah 49:6  ... he says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord 
Acts 13:49  The word of the Lord spread throughout the whole region.
Acts 8:25  After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.
Acts 15:35-36  But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, where they and many others taught and preached the word of the Lord. Sometime later Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us go back and visit the believers in all the towns where we preached the word of the Lord and see how they are doing."
Acts 19:10  This went on for two years, so that all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
Acts 19:20  In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.
