His Word

Acts 15:19, NIV

It is my judgement, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.

Acts 15: 19, NIV

While the apostles discuss what they need to do for the Gentiles, James reminds them that they should not make it difficult for their fellow believers who are turning to God. They need to help them get closer to Him without putting on any burdens that all the Jews themselves are not even willing to carry. Let this verse remind us that God wants us to help each other. We are not here to impose rules and laws for the sake of glorifying ourselves, but we are all doing the right thing for the sake of honoring God’s name. Let’s not make it difficult for our brothers and sisters to come to God. Instead, let’s make the gospel more accessible to them.

I pray that you will help your fellow believers, especially in their walk with God.
