Commentary on Acts 15:10
Peter's question - 'why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?' - powerfully argues against legalism. Adding law-keeping to faith 'tempts God' by testing whether grace really suffices. Peter's admission that Jews themselves couldn't bear the law's yoke demonstrates its purpose: revealing sin and driving us to Christ (Galatians 3:24).
