Barnabas

Barnabas was an enormously influential individual in the early church that does not get much recognition. Although he was not one of the original apostles, he significantly enhanced the ministry of the apostles. Barnabas had a part in impacting many lives for the cause of Christ.

Barnabas is mentioned all throughout the book of Acts, especially in relation to Paul. They both went on mission together, and suffered much together as well. Barnabas is introduced in Acts 4:36, "Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus, sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostle's feet” (ESV).

This name was mean “Son of Encouragement.” Barnabas is seen in the scriptures with help, encouragement, and wisdom to the those around him. His life was under the control of Spirit. The relationship that he had with God was so strong. He had an unshakeable confidence and faith in God. He was overjoyed to see the grace of God. He is enthusiastic to do whatever church

There is a big emphasis on the fact that real salvation and forgiveness of the Jews was not a real faith, but was a culture of work-based faith. Barnabas helped give modern-day

It is hard to tell if the men from Judea were being legalistic or if they were sincerely trying to obey the word of God but was taught incorrectly until now. But either way there was a conflict that needed

synagogues and proclaim the good news to the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles (Acts 13-14). Initially the journey was productive as many Jewish and Gentile adherents wanted to hear further from Paul and his companions. Luke shares that as Paul and Barnabas went throughout the cities, jealous and sacrilegious Jews stirred up hostility by speaking against the words of Paul (Acts 13:44). D.A Carson and Douglas Moo shares, “the preachers turned to the Gentiles and made converts from among them.” However
