Comprehensive Theology II – Jesus, Gospel, and Salvation Practice Test

Acts of the Apostles is the continuation of the story begun in one of the gospel accounts, forming a two‑volume work by the same author. The author explicitly ties the two together by opening Acts with a reference to “my former book” and by continuing the narrative right after Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Luke’s gospel covers Jesus’ life and ministry, while Acts picks up with the risen Christ sending the Spirit and empowering the apostles for mission, extending the narrative into the early church. This seamless connection shows Acts as Luke’s sequel, rather than a continuation of Matthew, Mark, or John, which each stand apart with their own emphases. Therefore, the gospel that Acts serves as a sequel to is the Gospel of Luke.
