Acts13:43
43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews, and religious proselites followed Paul and Barnabas; who speaking to them, perswaded them to continue in the grace of God.
The Congregation was dissolved, by the offence the Iews generally had taken at the Doctrine of the Apostles.
These Proselites were so called, from their coming over from Paganism, to own the true God, see Chap. 2.10.
This grace of God, the Apostles so earnestly exhorted them to continue in; was, 1. Their present state of being firmly resolved to serve God, whatsoever opposition or temptation they should meet with to the contrary, which was wrought in them by the grace of God. 2. The Doctrine of Justification by the grace of God, which St. Paul had Preached unto them, verse 39. Or 3. the whole Gospel, and Doctrine therein contained, which is called the grace of God, Heb. 12.15. aad the true grace wherein we stand, 1 Peter 5.12.
