Leviticus 7; Leviticus 8; Leviticus 9; Acts 15
We Should Not
Make It Difficult
For The Gentiles Who Are Turning To God.
Scripture
Acts 15
11 We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.”
19 “And so my judgment is that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.
Observation
As
the church expanded through out the region more and more Gentiles (non Jews)
were putting their faith in Christ. The Apostles had to remind the other Jewish
Christ Followers that everyone is saved the same way, by the undeserved grace
of the Lord Jesus.
I
hear the same thing by critics today. These critics say something like this;
“you need for people to do more to show that they are saved. You can’t share
the Gospel at the end of the worship service and expect people to know what
they are doing.”
I,
of course, would disagree with these critics. The Gospel message in a nutshell
is this; “We are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord
Jesus.” God came down from Heaven to this earth. He was born in a manger. His
name is Jesus.
Jesus lived a sinless life. He died on a cross for your sins and
my sins. He died on the cross to pay the penalty of our sins. He was buried and
on the third day Jesus came back to life. When you and I place our faith and
trust in what Jesus did on the cross for us we have Eternal life. We are all
saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.
Lets
not make it difficult for people to turn to God. Lets invite them to follow our
Savior.
Application
I
will continue to invite people to our church. How about you? How about to this week’s
free BBQ?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, don’t let me make things difficult for
people that want to follow Jesus.
