In Acts 28:28, what did Paul say about the salvation of God and the Gentiles?
Paul declares that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles. Even though they will not believe it, they are going to hear it. This crowning statement carries forward to the present day, marking the shift from the Jewish leaders at Rome to the Gentile hearing of God's salvation.
Les explains that Acts 28:28 is the crowning statement that carries all the way up to the present day. Paul is speaking to the Jewish leaders at Rome. When they could not agree among themselves, they departed after Paul cited Isaiah: hearing they would hear and not understand, seeing they would see and not perceive, their hearts were wax gross, their ears dull, and their eyes closed, lest they be converted and healed. Then Paul says, "Be it known therefore unto you that the salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will not believe it," but they are going to hear it. Afterward the Jews departed with great reasoning among themselves, and Paul dwelt two whole years in a rented house, receiving all who came, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching those things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.
Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
