In this sermon out of Acts 15, we delve into the early church's struggle with legalism and the true meaning of salvation by grace. The central conflict revolves around whether Gentile believers needed to follow Jewish customs to be saved. This debate mirrors our own struggles with adding human requirements to God's free gift of grace. We're reminded that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by our works or adherence to religious traditions. The apostles' resolution to this conflict teaches us valuable lessons about unity, sensitivity to others' consciences, and the importance of basing our decisions on Scripture and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As we reflect on this passage, we're challenged to examine our own hearts: Are we relying solely on God's grace, or are we unconsciously adding our own conditions to salvation? How can we better extend grace to others while remaining true to the gospel?
