Behold: The Law Versus Grace

Acts 15:1

Jesus declared He came to fulfill the Law and, by His death, He did. His obedience and resurrection ushered in the new testament, the age of grace. The only necessary thing needed for salvation is the belief that Jesus is God's son and His shed blood cleanses us from all sin. Believing Jews were trying to tell Gentile believers that they had to be circumcised in order to be saved. There arose a disturbance about this and Paul and  Barnabas went to Jerusalem to counsel with the other apostles and believers. The advice coming from this first council held at Jerusalem to determine a matter of truth was shared by the apostles and believing Jews. It was determined that God's Grace was the basis for salvation and man's works had no bearing on salvation. Word was sent back to the Gentiles that they were to abstain from anything sacrificed to idols, from fornication, from all things strangled, and from blood. Jesus paid our sin debt and we do not work to be saved. It is provided by the Grace of God and we cannot do anything to earn it. Do you love Him enough to give your life in obedience to him? We are looking for you in Sunday School at 10:00 A.M..
