📚 Historical Context
In the early Christian church, a major debate arose at the Council of Jerusalem about whether Gentile converts needed to follow Jewish laws, such as circumcision, to be saved. The apostle Peter addressed this gathering, declaring that both Jews and Gentiles are saved through the grace of Jesus Christ alone, based on his experiences with the Gentiles. This decision marked a pivotal moment in church history, affirming that faith in Christ, not adherence to the Mosaic law, was the path to salvation.
