Acts 15


Who provides God’s favor?

Is it Abraham,
wandering in tents,
sacrificing Isaac on a mountain?

Is it Moses,
leading Israel,
living in the law that God has written?

Or is it God Himself
who calls all men together,
loves them as one body,
covers them with Jesus,

and sees them as His children?
God's favor rests in Jesus,
not rules and stipulations;
approval is His gift,

not dividend He owes us.
We live in warm acceptance
when Christ is our identity
and Moses is our background.
