The Acts of the Apostles The Council at Jerusalem Acts 15:1-41 Lesson 15

Jews Church Body Focus The Law

Jews Church Body Focus Gentiles The LawIdols/Nothing

Jews Church Body Focus Gentiles Jesus & Grace Ephesians 2:14-16: For He Himself is our peace, who has made both [Jew & Gentile] one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. Reconciled/Unity

The GospelGrace

He acknowledges that God chose him to preach the gospel to the Gentiles He acknowledges that only God knows the heart of a person – including the Gentiles - and by giving them the Holy Spirit, they were accounted as believers He acknowledges that God doesn’t discriminate between Jew and Gentile, and it is God that purifies the heart by faith. Main Points of Acts 15:7-9

Acts 15:10: Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear. Acts 15:11: No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are. Acts 15:19-20: It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood.

Don’t Stumble Romans 14:20: Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble. 1 Corinthians 10:32: Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God.

How God’s Hand Guides His People 1. God guides through church unanimity – verse 25a 2. God guides through gifted men and women in the body – verses 25b God guides through the gifts of the Spirit – verses God guides through desires we may have personally – verse God guides through concerns we feel internally – verses God guides through interpersonal difficulty – verses 37-39a

The Importance of Unity Ephesians 4:3: Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. Colossians 3:12-14: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
