Cleansing their hearts by faith.

Acts 15:7-11, And after there had been much debate, Peter stood up and said to them, “Brethren, you know that in the early days God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe. And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us; and He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith. Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are.”

There are still attempts today to place a yoke of bondage upon the necks of believers. Peter proclaims the truth, that all of us, even Peter and those keeping the details of the law, are all saved through the grace of our Lord Jesus. He is the One who cleanses our hearts!

We thank You for cleansing our hearts by faith in Jesus Christ!
