Have you ever wondered why Christians follow some of the laws in the Old Testament, but seem to ignore others? How can we take parts of God’s Word and say, “this if for us,” and other parts and say, “this is not for us.”? In this message from Acts 15, shared at Gospel Fellowship Church, Dr. Rob Rienow addresses this important issue as well as the issue of “legalism” which is a great enemy our faith in Jesus Christ.

 

For a more in-depth study on the sufficiency of Scripture for every area of faith and life, read Limited Church: Unlimited Kingdom – Uniting Church and Family in the Great Commission.
