When Gentiles Turn To God

"What do we do with all of the Gentiles turning to God?" was the question on the minds of the Jewish followers of Yeshua. They weren't sure what to do. As Gentiles (people from nations not Israel) were turning to God they asked questions like "should Gentiles become Jews and keep the Torah?" The irony is today most people as "Can you be Jewish and believe in Jesus?" So, the disciples had a council, of sorts, in Jerusalem and the headliners of this meeting were Peter, Paul and Jacob (the brother of Yeshua). They decided, unequivocally, Gentiles should not become Jews but are welcome into the family of God as Gentiles. The bottom line for our community is conversion takes away the the prophetic reality of Jews and gentiles turning to Yeshua as Jews and Gentiles. Jews are Jews, Gentiles are Gentiles and we are all apart of the same family and we are all called by God to bring restoration to the Jewish people and be a light to the nations in the name of Yeshua!
