Sent to Be Includers

When the early church began to expand into Gentile (non-Jewish) regions, the apostles faced an issue: what should be done with the Gentiles who were being saved? Some believers assumed that they would be brought in under the Jewish customs and law, but God sent Peter to insist that everyone would be included by His grace alone! Even today, we may expect people to be brought into the church under certain "laws," but God continues to insist that His grace through Christ is the thing that really matters!
