Acts 15:18

"that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’"

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes God's sovereign will in guiding both Jews and Gentiles to seek Him. It highlights that those whom God calls by His name, whether they are part of the covenant people or have recently come into faith through the gospel, are drawn to seek the Lord's presence and guidance.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 18. Known unto God, etc. See Barnes "Ac 1:24". The meaning of this verse, in this connexion, is this. God sees everything future; he knows what he will accomplish; he has a plan; and all his works are so arranged in his mind, that he sees all things distinctly and clearly. As he foretold these, it was a part of his plan; and as it was a part of his plan long since foretold, it should not be opposed and resisted by us. {a} "Known unto God" Nu 23:19; Isa 46:10 __________________________________________________________________
