Believed and Baptized

Acts 18:7-8 
7 And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue. 8 Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

Paul went to those called out of the nations, finding a man who happened to live next to a synagogue to stay with.  That man also worshipped God, and the head of the synagogue next door must have heard and seen, because he came to Christ along with many Corinthians.  The word of God changes hearts of stone to living ones by His grace of faith, and no opposition can stop His drawing.  So he drew us out of dust, so He draws us back for His breath to give new life from out of every nation and people.
