Sometimes even the most simple truths are the hardest for us to accept. It was very difficult for the earliest Christians (who were all Jews before they were Christians) to accept the idea that God wanted the gospel preached to all people, including the Gentiles. Two infallible sources confirmed this in Acts 15—
¨ The Holy Spirit (v. 8)
¨ The prophet Amos (vv. 15-18)
The prophecy of Amos made it clear that this was God’s plan all along, and the work of the Holy Spirit was confirming it again and again in the first century.
