Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, You must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment.
Again, under the outpouring of the early rain, the new converts were not to be initially burdened with months and years of studies, before being baptized, for the seeds of truth had already been planted, and now it was time to reap. Similarly, the latter rain is given in the context of reaping earth’s final harvests. The seeds of present truth have been sown, and now The Lord of the harvest puts in His sickle to reap.
Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29 That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves, you shall do well. Fare you well. 30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: 31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
That’s it? Certainly, there must be a whole lot more that they could have been be taught, but for now, the “Necessary Things” number only 4: They must abstain from meats offered to idols, from eating blood, from things that are strangled, and from fornication. In other words, the new converts to Christianity were not to be overloaded with truth at this time, but were instead to be fed the essentials as The Holy Ghost would lead.
Acts 15:32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them. 33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
