Prioritizing the Gospel

Acts 15

When questions arose about the gospel, the early church gathered to clarify that justification is through faith alone, affirming a core doctrine that unites all of God's people.

The Jerusalem Council met to resolve a dispute in the early church: was faith in Christ sufficient for justification and inclusion into God's people? The early church's response affirmed the sufficiency of faith in Jesus for justification. Because of His finished work on the cross, Jesus alone is all we need to be saved.

Because we have been saved by grace through faith and not by works, we proclaim the gospel message to everyone that justification is available through faith in Christ alone.
