Podcasts about scripture: acts 15:1-15:11

The first thing that we see in Jesus' conclusion of the discourse in eleventh chapter of Matthew is that those who come to him will share in the Kingdom of Heaven. Those who come to Jesus are those who are humble in hearing what Jesus chooses to reveal. Jesus calls all to unite with him in celebrating the hidden things of God that are now revealed. No one can come to faith on their own morality or intellect; only by the mysterious illumination of the Holy Spirit and by faith in Christ's atonement of sin can one be a part of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus' yoke of salvation is light and gentle. Our LORD removes the penalty of sin from us and shares in the burden of the journey in this fallen world. This yoke is one of learning from Jesus how to release the burden of sin, to embrace the yoke of salvation from Jesus. HE will come alongside us and will carry the load with us while also taking the burden from us. Jesus is gentle. Jesus is humble.

In Acts 15 some were falsely claiming unless a person is circumcised in keeping the Law of Moses they cannot be saved. The church rejected this. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone. Gentiles were getting saved and receiving the Holy Spirit simply by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. Today the same is true: salvation is by faith alone apart from any acts of works of the Law.
