In Galatians 2:1-14, Paul continued his personal story about his interaction with the leaders in Jerusalem, relating that they completely supported his message and ministry. He recounted these events in detail in order to defend the gospel and protect the unity of the church. It is still true today that we can maintain unity amidst great cultural diversity only if we hold on to the one and only gospel.
In a second vision, Daniel saw into the future when the Jews would need to remain faithful under terrible persecution.
There is only one true and living God who can rescue humans from serving our handmade gods.
Although we work for the growth of the kingdom, it grows mysteriously in ways that we cannot understand or control.
