Episode 737: TE: The Apostolic Decree - An Introduction to Torah (Acts 15:20)
About this episode
This episode examines the Apostolic Decree in Acts 15 and its implications for Gentile believers regarding Torah observance.
What did the apostles actually require of Gentile believers in Acts 15? This teaching examines the Apostolic Decree as an introduction to Torah, showing how the four prohibitions connect to holiness, idolatry, sexual morality, and the food laws. We also consider whether these commands were temporary or intended for all believers, and why Acts 15:21 matters so much for understanding the apostles’ expectations. Scriptures: Acts 15:19-21; Acts 15:28-29; Acts 21:25; Leviticus 17:10-14; Leviticus 18:1-30; 1 Corinthians 10:18-22 Takeaway: The Apostolic Decree was not a minimal end point, but a gracious starting point for Gentile believers turning to God. As believers hear Moses proclaimed, they are expected to grow in holiness and obedience.
