Acts 26:17-18, “I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.”
The crucified and risen Christ is proclaimed…the Spirit opens the mind’s eye to see…the heart is regenerated to turn to God…and faith in the proclaimed-Christ is granted so that forgiveness and sanctification are received.
May the Lord do so more and more.
