James (the half-brother of Jesus) was summing up all the evidence. The apostles and elders had gathered in Jerusalem to decide if Gentiles could be saved, without submitting to Jewish religious rules (Acts 15:6-11). Peter, Paul and Barnabas had all seen Gentiles turning to God in repentance and faith as they heard the gospel of Jesus (Acts 15:12-14). But legalistic believers, who may previously have been legalistic Pharisees, demanded that the new Christians should be circumcised as Jews (Acts 15:1).

“Word@Work Bible study assisted me so much to understand the word of God. Especially the part that I most like is when historical background is always provided to the message. Help me to contextualise it. In addition, this Bible study also help me to improve my relationship with God on a daily basis. I am still asking for more prayers to make the word of God my priority and not an option. Thank you for helping me to read the word of God. ”
