Study Lenses

The verse centers on "grace", "great", "power", "apostles", "giving", "testimony", "rising", and "again". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "grace" and "great", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 32's "and of the multitude of those who..." into verse 34's "for there was not any one among...", so "grace" and "great" belong inside that flow. In Acts context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "grace" and "great" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
