Episode Description
Today we are studying Acts Chapter 15. In this chapter, a major question rises in the early church: must Gentile believers follow the law of Moses in order to be saved? Paul and Barnabas strongly oppose this burden being placed on new believers, and the apostles and elders gather in Jerusalem to seek wisdom and direction. Peter reminds them that God gave the Holy Spirit to the Gentiles by faith, and that salvation comes through the grace of the Lord Jesus. Acts 15:11 says, “On the contrary, we believe we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way they are.” This chapter reminds us that salvation is by grace, the church must seek unity in truth, and believers should avoid placing unnecessary burdens on others.
