What stood out today: v15:9 For he purified their hearts by faith. v11 No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are. v20 Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. v16:7 But the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. v14 A woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul's message.
My response: Jesus, these are more strange things. Why, when the church says the main thing is - by grace through faith in you - do they not write about that but tell them to obey four laws? Then Paul has Timothy circumcised. What they do seems so contrary. Then in verse 7, the Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Jesus. Then there is Lydia, a worshiper of God before the Lord opening her heart. How does that work? Jesus, I have a lot of questions. You are the teacher. I am a disciple. Teach me.
