The Gospel Our Children Need Or Making Sure We Get the Gospel Right

Acts 15:1-11, ESV

¹ But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.” 

• The Question: Is in Jesus really enough for salvation?

 ² And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question…. 

⁶ The apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider this matter. ⁷ And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. ⁸ And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, ⁹ and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith.

• God gives the to those who believe in Jesus.

• God cleanses the of those who believe in Jesus.

¹⁰ Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

• Jesus +  is no gospel at all.

¹¹ But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.”

• Salvation is by alone, through alone, in alone.

 “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9, ESV)

• Is faith in Jesus really enough for salvation? !
