8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;9. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Acts 15:8-9. There comes a dispute between converted Pharisees and the disciples. That the converted Gentiles must keep the law of Moses. Peter defends the converted Gentiles, that God filled them with the Holy Ghost, before they were even baptized. Because they believed. There is no separation between a converted Jew and a Gentile. Christ has by His blood redeemed them. They are now part of the family of God. The law of Moses, could not save or show mercy. It could only declare guilty or innocent. Christ paying the debt once and for all time in blood has covered every believer who obeys His words with His Righteousness. Amen.
