Bible Survey - Acts Theme: The Expansion of the Gospel Acts 1:8 You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.

Bible Survey - Acts Purpose of Writing: Luke’s main purpose in writing Acts is the same as his main purpose in writing the gospel: to provide Theophilus with an account of Christianity from the beginning up to his own time. Luke’s deeper purpose was to provide an account of the missionary activities of the early church and to demonstrate how the Spirit of Christ was accomplishing his own purpose in the expansion of the Gospel message.

Bible Survey - Acts Place in the Canon: Historically, Acts provides vital information regarding the early church. Theologically, Acts shows us the sovereign nature of the working of the Holy Spirit and the triumphant character of the church of Jesus Christ. Devotionally, we should be led to love God more deeply and we should be inspired to take our part in the work.
