Acts 26:18 To open their eyes [as a result of regeneration], so that they turn away [conversion] from darkness to light [spiritual illumination through the gospel message] and away from the authority of Satan unto God [spiritual deliverance], so that they receive their remission of sins [forensic forgiveness] and a portion [inheritance] among those who have been sanctified [positionally] by faith which is in Me [Jesus Christ is the object of faith].
