ACTS (PART 27) — GRACE AND GRACIOUSNESS

We have reached the central chapter in Acts—chapter 15. After Paul and Barnabas’ missionary journey in Galatia, the apostles and major leaders in the church get together in Jerusalem to discuss the role the Law should play in the lives of Gentiles. There is a lot to glean from this chapter in terms of understanding how the grace of God in Christ must undergird everything in our lives, as well as how we can be gracious to others who don’t quite yet grasp the full implications of the finished work of Christ. The enemy wanted to halt the pure message of the Good News of Jesus, as well as divide the church, but he failed!
