Acts 1:8

Acts 1:8 explains that when the Holy Spirit comes upon believers, they will gain the power to serve effectively and will be able to share the message of Jesus both locally and globally. The verse emphasizes that this empowerment enables believers to be witnesses—people who testify about Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection—starting in their own community and extending worldwide. It highlights that spreading Jesus' message is a shared mission, made possible through divine strength, and that this begins immediately in Jerusalem and spreads outward to the rest of the world.
