The Bible says that, "anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" Most of the time this is joyous, exciting news. But there can be times where it proves challenging. For example, in Acts 21 Paul is faced with a request by the Jewish Christians to still follow the traditions of the Law. It seems unnecessary, but we have to remember these were people who had lived those traditions for thousands of years. This new life the Bible speaks of wasn't going to take shape over night.
