Acts 15
11 “We believe that we are all saved the same way, by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.”
The Council at Jerusalem had a dilemma to solve. Some of the Believers wanted to place Old Covenant requirements on New Covenant followers of Christ. They were, in effect, claiming that the Blood of Jesus was not enough to cleanse people from their sins. Sometimes, we want to place extra requirements on folks as well. We would do well to remember that we are all saved the same way: by the undeserved grace of the Lord Jesus.” No need for extra requirements. Just obey the Gospel: Believe, Confess, Repent, Be Immersed into Christ, and live for Him daily. There is nothing we can do to “earn” the grace of Jesus, but our response to that grace is of eternal importance.
