Our Actions Vs. God's Grace

Peter gets it! In Acts ch15v7-11, Peter makes a very good point as leaders are arguing whether new converts should be baptized and circumcized, and follow the law of Moses. Peter notes that they should not burden the Gentiles with a yoke that the Jews were unable to bear. It shows the purpose of the law! It was not meant that man should follow every letter, he cannot. It was to guide the Jews and help them understand sin exists. It was a way to demonstrate how far they were from God's perfect standards. The Christian faith is not based on our actions and rituals, rather it is solely God's grace. We forget that and go about the business judging others by how "religious" they are. Peter stifled the discussion 2,000 yrs ago, we need to stifle it today! Not by our actions!
