“For when he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians [who don't bother with circumcision and the many other Jewish laws]. But afterwards, when some Jewish friends of James came, he wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore because he was afraid of what these Jewish legalists, who insisted that circumcision was necessary for salvation, would say.”
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to go against what you believe and know to be true because of the fear of people’s reactions?
Well that’s what our conversation is about today. Peter found himself in this situation.
Refuse to conform to opinions and expectations of you when they are not consistent with who you are in Christ as a new creation.
Choose to major on what is major for us as new creations in Christ and minimize on what God isn’t maximizing.
When you stand for what you know is the truth, you won’t be standing alone forever because in no distant time people and circumstances will conform to who you are in Christ.
For we can do nothing against the truth neither serve any party nor personal interest but only for the truth which is the gospel.
Glory!
