Ac15

Jesus plus everything is not greater than Jesus plus nothing! This is a hard truth to grasp. We all want to somehow take credit for our salvation!

Imagine if circumcision was still an issue in our churches! What if we still believed that one could not go to heaven unless they were circumcised and obeyed the OT law of Moses. That would be nuts! That is what these early believers thought. They were so connected to their "traditions and laws" that they could not see it any other way.

We laugh now, but what are the "things" that we are adding to the gospel message today? Are we keeping salvation clearly in God's hands or are we adding to the message legalistic measures? I pray we are keeping the gospel pure.
