Commentary on Acts 15:1
The Jerusalem Council crisis reveals the perpetual tension between grace and legalism. These Judaizers from Judaea insisted that Gentile converts must be circumcised 'after the manner of Moses' to be saved, adding works to faith. This directly contradicted the gospel of grace that Paul and Barnabas preached. The Greek 'sōthēnai' (be saved) is passive, emphasizing that salvation is received, not achieved through human effort.
