Paul at Antioch of Pisidia: What God promised our ancestors he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. Acts 13:32-33

The Book of Acts relates that the apostle Paul, after his conversion to Christianity through a divine vision, stayed for a long time with the disciples in Jerusalem, but then moved to the city of Antioch, the largest center of dissemination of the Christian religion during the first century.
And it was in Antioch where Paul was called by the Holy Spirit along with Barnabas to make the first missionary journey. With great determination and enthusiasm from the city of Antioch, Paul and Barnabas set out for the island of Cyprus, where they visited the cities of Salamis and Paphos; but they did not stop there and left for the region of Galatia.
Up to this point, the trip of these missionaries did not have great significance, but when Paul arrived in Antioch of Pisidia with his friend Barnabas, the apostle had the opportunity to give the first of his greatest messages about Jesus and the Kingdom of God, the dominion or empire of God's perfections.
The Book of Acts relates that this speech was given in a synagogue, because Paul was of Jewish origin, and the Christian religion until that moment was largely made up of members from Judaism.
But Paul, despite this, was aware of the true recipients of the message of Jesus, first and foremost the children of Abraham according to the flesh, and then all the children of Abraham according to the spirit without exclusion: "Men and brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation has been sent" Acts 13:26.
And Paul continued his message with which he announced the salvation coming from Jesus: "We tell you the good news: What God promised our ancestors he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus" Acts 13:32-33.
The Book of Acts tells us that Paul finished his first great speech and that it was mostly pagans who embraced the faith; this speech said by Paul was one of the first steps taken in a precise direction, to turn Christianity into the first world religion in history.
