What Does Acts 26:22 Mean?
Paul gives credit where it belongs. Only by God's help has he survived to this day, still bearing witness to everyone, small and great alike, saying nothing other than what Moses and the prophets foretold.
His message is not a novelty but the fulfillment of Scripture's long promise. Paul stands in continuity with all that came before, and he stands only by grace. The hope he proclaims was written in the law and the prophets, now come to pass in Christ, and offered to every kind of person.
