A Confrontation of Faith

Paul has come to Jerusalem to visit the church there and the apostles who ministered to their souls. Seeing the deceitfulness of Peter in his vanity, Paul rebuked him harshly. Biblical justification is by faith in Christ aloe; there are no works, no laws, and no religious celebrations involved. Paul was an apostle chosen of God directly; his authority was equal to or greater than that of Peter, James, and John. Paul was a vessel chosen of God to declare the good news of Christ to the Gentiles of the world.
