What are the requirements for salvation? How do you know you are saved? In Acts 15, we see the answer to these questions. Some in the church were promoting a "Jesus Plus" gospel, but the Jerusalem Council affirms that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Today, there still is a problem with some adding to the gospel. The requirements for salvation are not "believe and be baptized," "repent and believe" (if by repent, one means to commit to stop sinning rather than change your mind), nor "believe and surrender" (surrendering to the Lordship of Jesus is a discipleship issue not a salvation requirement).

We must be clear about how to know you are saved. If you have received Jesus' gift of salvation through faith in His finished work on the cross, you are saved.

The scandalous message of grace enrages self-righteous legalists. As Paul and Barnabas continue their first missionary journey, they are brutally opposed by self-righteous legalists and try to stone Paul to death. Paul warns that the church will go through many hardships because the scandalous message of grace enrages people who cling to the law and self-justification.

The same power that rose Jesus from the grave is the same power that dwells in us today as believers. In Christ, we have resurrection power that is able to do immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine! Don't miss out on all that you have in Christ if you have put your faith and trust in Him for salvation.

In Acts 13 Paul and Barnabas are commissioned by the church at Antioch and sent out on Paul's first missionary journey. As the church today, the Spirit sends us out on mission as well. Sometimes that is somewhere on the other side of the world, but often times it's into our own communities to serve people and share the gospel with the lost.

In Acts 12, King Herod persecuted the church, killed James, and arrested Peter and put him in prison with intentions to kill him as well. God sends an angel and miraculously rescues Peter from prison. As a result, we are told in verse 24 that the church continued to spread and flourish. God is sovereign and even when we don't see it or understand it, He is at work behind the scenes for our good and His glory.

The church of Antioch was discipled by Barnabas and Saul for an entire year. The church of Antioch was a diverse church who under the leadership of Barnabas and Saul became a missionary outpost. We learn much from this church and from Barnabas and Saul as they lived Life in the Spirit.

In Acts 10-11, Peter and Cornelius witness what can be called The Gentile Pentecost! The Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles as they believed in Jesus for salvation. The gospel is for all people!
