Study Note
'When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose of heart' — Barnabas's response to the Antioch community (the first church of significant Gentile composition) models the gracious recognition of divine work outside established institutional structures. The phrase 'saw the grace of God' (idōn tēn charin tou theou) suggests that divine grace has perceptible, observable manifestations in community life — a practical pneumatology. The exhortation to 'remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose of heart' (prosmenein tō kyriō en tē prothesei tēs kardias) uses the vocabulary of deliberate, willed intention, framing perseverance as an active commitment rather than passive retention. The verse belongs to the founding narrative of Antioch, which would become the base of Paul's missionary journeys and the first community where followers of Jesus were called 'Christians' (verse 26).
