‭Acts 15:8-14 ESV‬
[8] And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them, by giving them the Holy Spirit just as he did to us, [9] and he made no distinction between us and them, having cleansed their hearts by faith. [10] Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? [11] But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.” [12] And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. [13] After they finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. [14] Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name.
‭Acts 15:8-14 NCV‬
[8] God, who knows the thoughts of everyone, accepted them. He showed this to us by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he did to us. [9] To God, those people are not different from us. When they believed, he made their hearts pure. [10] So now why are you testing God by putting a heavy load around the necks of the non-Jewish believers? It is a load that neither we nor our ancestors were able to carry. [11] But we believe that we and they too will be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus.” [12] Then the whole group became quiet. They listened to Paul and Barnabas tell about all the miracles and signs that God did through them among the people. [13] After they finished speaking, James said, “Brothers, listen to me. [14] Simon has told us how God showed his love for those people. For the first time he is accepting from among them a people to be his own.
God does not make a distinction between different groups (as we humans put it) of people. We are All created in his image, and it is our choice to follow Him or to not follow Him.
