Faithless. faithful.

During Paul’s time, the Jews sometimes acted as if they had a monopoly on the spiritual market. In fact, the first church council recorded in Acts 15 discussed whether the Gentiles should be accepted into the church and if circumcision was necessary for them. The decision was made that the only requirement for joining the church was not based on nationality or religious ceremony but solely on faith in Jesus. Christ alone, by grace alone, through faith alone, is the path of salvation for everyone, Jew and Gentile alike.
