4. According to R. Dickinson, Jr., what is “significant” about the term “people” (laos) in Acts 15:14? Dickinson states “the significant fact, is that the prized term people is now to be implied not only to Israel, but to Gentile Christians as well. This implies, then, that the conversion of Gentiles is seen as a fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel.”2 The term people originally referred to the “Chosen People” of Israel, now that the Gentiles were becoming saved they too were becoming the people of Israel.
