📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, Chapter 19, the apostle Paul is in Ephesus, a major city in ancient Asia Minor known for its temple to Artemis and widespread practice of magic. As Paul preached the gospel and performed miracles through God's power, many new believers felt convicted of their past actions and came forward publicly. This event highlights a turning point where people renounced their involvement in sorcery to fully embrace faith in Christ.
