What were the effects of Stephens death in Acts chapter 7?
It spread the early church throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, and thus brought them to the second of three places where Jesus commanded them to witness in His final words in Acts 1:8. It also caused the believers to have boldness in their witnessing. This was not an unusual effect, as persecution has always brought about the furtherance of the gospel. Stephen was the first martyr and through his death, God pumped up the rest of the believers and they went out and had an amazing impact on the world they entered.
