—Acts 15:6-11
by: Angie Osborn.
In verses 10 and 11, Paul talks about not putting a “heavy yoke” on the new believers. He takes the people back to the basics in verse 11 by telling them that, “…we believe it is by the grace of Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.” Sometimes we get caught up in “church protocol” and seem to look down upon those who do not “do” what we think they should do or act the way that we feel they should act. We need to keep in mind that the bottom line is we are ALL saved by the grace of Jesus Christ; it is nothing that we have earned or worked for. He gives it freely—to all who ask!
