Acts 8:4 (AMP) “Now those [believers] who had been scattered went from place to place preaching the word [the good news of salvation through Christ].” Jesus Christ began His earthly ministry with the preaching of the message of repentance as a prerequisite for entering and experiencing the Kingdom of God.
