In Acts chapter 15, Luke records a historic moment in the life of the early church when the purity of the gospel was threatened. Gathering together in Jerusalem, the apostles and elders resolve that the salvation of the gentiles is not contingent on their submission to the Mosaic law, but simply on their reception of the saving grace of the Lord Jesus. Here we are reminded that preserving the purity of the gospel is of utmost importance and that we ought to learn how to live harmoniously within the ethnically diverse body that is the church of Jesus Christ.

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.
