The Jerusalem Council had met to deal with the issue of sect of Pharisees who were undermining the gospel, saying that unless you are circumcised you cannot be saved. The council unanimously agreed that salvation is by grace alone, through faith in Christ alone. Afterward, they drafted a letter to be sent to the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilice explaining their decision. And for the sake of unity in the church, they also asked the Gentile believers to abstain from food offered to idols, from what has been strangled, from blood, and from sexual immorality (fornication). So, what is the meaning of these stipulations? (I mean, isn't it obvious that fornication is wrong?) What is the purpose of these stipulations? And what is the scope of this letter? We will be seeking answers to these three questions as we study this passage.
