About this episode

The episode discusses the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 and the resolution of the early church's conflict regarding salvation and the law.

In Acts 15, the young church faces its first great conflict: a group insisting Gentile believers be circumcised and keep the whole law of Moses to be saved. Peter, Paul, Barnabas, and James answer with a settled verdict — salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, Jesus plus nothing — while calling believers to lay down their liberties in love so they never cause a weaker brother to stumble. The message calls us to be an iron pillar on the gospel and a reed on the non-essentials, bearing one another's crushing burdens without taking over the load only each person can carry.
