WHAT DO YOU KNOW? (Excerpts from ACTS 15)
There was contention as to the matter of circumcision of the new believers who were gentiles.
'They can't be regarded as saved if they don't keep the whole of the Mosaic law, if they don't get circumsiced' (paraphrased comment of the Jews on this matter).
The unity of response by the apostles tells something.
They would have been pressured by the Jews into speaking to the Gentile believers to keep the ceremonial law of circumcision.
But the apostles knew their circumcision of the flesh could not determine or influence their salvation so it was unnecessary or burdensome to the non- Jewish believers to be cirmcised.
Dearly beloved,
What do you know?
Can you differentiate between what is expedient or necessary and what is not?
There are some things also that are not necessarily right or wrong but can question your salvation experience.
There are those things not outrightly a sin but when considered by others, can create a stumbling block in their heart on their journey of faith.
Can you confidently tell by the help of Holy Spirit what things written in the laws which are not presently necessary as a believer because it does not influence your salvation or the faith of another AND what things which are may not even written in the laws but are necessary to be kept as it can directly influence someone else's decision about salvation and affect your salvation in the long run.
Once again beloved, what do you know?
One of the ways the Devil gets believers is by ignorance !
And how do you get to know what you don't know?? ⁉️🤷🤷♀
By seeking knowledge!
From the scriptures and from the Holy Spirit._
