So, the men decided to falsely accuse Stephen, labeling him a blasphemer and having him arrested (Acts 6:11-14).Īcts 7 is the record of Stephen’s testimony, which is perhaps the most detailed and concise history of Israel and their relationship to God of any in Scripture. Opposition arose, but the men who argued with Stephen were no match for the wisdom given him by the Holy Spirit. He was also 'full of God’s grace and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people' (Acts 6:8). Stephen was one of the seven men chosen to be responsible over the distribution of food to widows in the early church after a dispute arose and the apostles recognized they needed help.

He was faithful, even when faced with certain death. Nothing is known about the personal life of Stephen-his parents, his siblings, or whether he had a wife or children however, what is known about him is what is truly important.

Acts 6:5 introduces a faithful man of God named Stephen: “a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit.” It is noteworthy that there have always been those faithful believers whose love for and commitment to the Lord seem to shine through so greatly that others around them notice, and Stephen was such a man.
