As you know, I’m a rule follower. I could talk company policies for hours! I love instruction booklets & directions. Actually, I hate instruction manuals. If I buy something that needs assembly, I’m not flipping through pages of tiny print. I’d rather just look at the picture on the box, assume I can figure it out, and start putting it together. And if something doesn’t fit? That’s what duct tape is for! Leftover parts? Toss them in the junk drawer! But imagine a rule follower, an instruction booklet reader carefully following each step, only to see this on the last page: “Oh, by the way, no matter how closely you followed these steps, you are never going to put this together correctly." “These instructions weren’t written to help you succeed; they’re designed to reveal that you can’t do it on your own.” "The only way is to have someone else do it for you.” The 1st question would be, “Then what’s the point of these instructions at all?” Well, without them you would never realize how desperately you need someone to put this thing together for you. You would just keep trying to do it on your own, and you would never be able to get it done. That’s exactly what many Jewish Christians in Rome were feeling when Paul told them the Law couldn’t save them.

Folly enslaves you to debt, God's wisdom sets you free.

1 How much do we owe? 2 The cross - God's depository. 3 Renewing our repentance.
While the decision in ACTS 15 blessed all Gentile believers, in the following centuries the extreme reverse began to occur through other leadership decisions, resulting in Jewish believers being pressured to deny their own culture and ethnicity. This was due to the unfortunate development of replacement theology - which paved the way for sinful anti-semitism to infect the Church - causing unspeakable atrocities.
