Day 54: November 7, 2025 – Joshua 13-15 and Acts 13-15

Joshua really has much of the same but what we find in Acts is pretty significant. We find a council of all the leaders and there they decide that when a gentile, a non-Jew, comes to faith in Jesus Christ, they do not have to become Jewish first and follow all of the Jewish rites and rituals, especially that of circumcision. We read in Acts that there was much rejoicing, and that totally makes sense because who wants to be circumcised if they don’t have to be? This is probably the most significant of the chapters in Acts which has the most significant decision of the early church. God has called all people into the church and all people are saved by the grace of God, and not by the actions that they take in order to become followers of God.
