According to the Book of Acts in the New Testament, specifically in Acts 11:19-26, when the representative from the Jerusalem congregation (Barnabas) arrived in Antioch, he found evidence of God’s grace at work in Jews and Gentiles. The Antioch congregation was thriving, and many people were coming to the faith, which included both Jewish and Gentile believers. Barnabas encouraged them to remain faithful to the Lord.
