Historically, Israel was chosen as God's covenant people, as seen in <a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>, where God promises Abraham that through his descendants all nations will be blessed. The message sent to Israel is consistent with the Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/isaiah/52-7.htm">Isaiah 52:7</a>, which speaks of the good news of peace and salvation. The focus on Israel underscores the fulfillment of God's promises to His chosen people, yet it also sets the stage for the expansion of the gospel to the Gentiles, as seen later in <a href="/acts/10.htm">Acts 10</a>.proclaiming the gospel of peace The "gospel of peace" refers to the good news that brings reconciliation between God and humanity, as well as among people themselves. This peace is a fulfillment of prophecies like <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6</a>, where the Messiah is called the "Prince of Peace." In the New Testament, <a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-17</a> elaborates on how Jesus Himself is our peace, breaking down the dividing wall between Jews and Gentiles. The peace offered through the gospel is not merely the absence of conflict but a holistic restoration of relationships, both vertically with God and horizontally with others.through Jesus Christ The centrality of Jesus Christ in the proclamation of the gospel is emphasized here. Jesus is the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies, such as those found in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, which speak of a suffering servant who would bear the sins of many. The New Testament consistently presents Jesus as the only way to salvation (<a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a>), and His life, death, and resurrection are the core of the gospel message. The phrase underscores that peace with God is made possible only through the atoning work of Jesus Christ.who is Lord of all This declaration affirms the universal lordship of Jesus Christ. It echoes <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>, where every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. The title "Lord" signifies authority and divinity, aligning with Old Testament references to Yahweh. By stating that Jesus is "Lord of all," the text emphasizes His sovereignty over all creation, both Jews and Gentiles, and His ultimate authority in heaven and on earth. This universal lordship is a key theme in the book of Acts, as the gospel spreads beyond Israel to all nations.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/peter.htm">Peter</a> The apostle who is speaking in this passage.
