Commentary on Acts 11:21
Luke reports: 'the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.' The 'hand of the Lord' signifies divine power and blessing on their ministry. The twofold response - believing and turning - describes conversion: faith in the gospel and repentance toward God. The 'great number' shows God's sovereign election extends to many among the Gentiles. Reformed theology sees effective calling here - the Spirit working through gospel preaching to grant faith and repentance to the elect. Human preaching is instrumental; God's power is effectual.
