The book of Acts shows evidence of Jehovah’s blessing on the early Christians’ witness work. It highlights their growth as they spread God's word. For example, in Jerusalem, the number of disciples increased significantly (Acts 6:7). The congregation in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria thrived in peace and continued to multiply (Acts 9:31). In Syrian Antioch, both Jews and Greeks embraced the faith, indicating Jehovah's support (Acts 11:21). Lastly, as Paul and others preached to the Gentiles, the message of Jehovah grew and succeeded (Acts 19:20).
The book of Acts gives us what evidence of Jehovah’s blessing on the work of bearing witness?
Jehovah’s blessing was unquestionably upon the early Christians. Paul and others planted and watered, “but God kept making it grow.” (1 Cor. 3:5, 6) Reports in the book of Acts provide evidence of such growth because of Jehovah’s blessing on the work of bearing witness. For instance, “the word of God continued to spread, and the number of the disciples kept multiplying very much in Jerusalem.” (Acts 6:7) As the witness work spread, “the congregation throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria entered into a period of peace, being built up; and as it walked in the [reverential] fear of Jehovah and in the comfort of the holy spirit, it kept on multiplying.”—Acts 9:31.In Syrian Antioch, both Jews and Greek-speaking people heard the truth from courageous witnesses. “Furthermore,” says the account, “the hand of Jehovah was with them, and a great number became believers and turned to the Lord.” (Acts 11:21) Regarding further progress in that city, we read: “The word of Jehovah went on growing and spreading.” (Acts 12:24) And with the witnessing work of Paul and others in full swing among Gentiles, “in a mighty way, the word of Jehovah kept growing and prevailing.”—Acts 19:20
