1 After 14 years, Paul went to Jerusalem with Barnabas. He took Titus too. ♂️️ 2 God told Paul to go. Paul told the big helpers the Good News he tells to not-Jew people. He spoke in a small, quiet group to check his work. ️ 3 They did not make Titus do the old body rule. ✅ 4 Some fake friends came in like sneaks. They tried to take our free life in Jesus and make us follow old rules. ️♂️ 5 We did not give in. Not even a little. We kept the true Good News for you. ⛔ 6 The big leaders did not change Paul’s message. God does not pick favorites. ⚖️ 7 They saw God gave Paul work to tell not-Jew people. Peter would tell Jew people. ➡️✡️ 8 God helped Peter with Jew people. God helped Paul with not-Jew people too. ✨ 9 James, Peter (also called Cephas), and John saw God helped Paul. They shook hands with Paul and Barnabas. Paul would go to not-Jew people. They would go to Jew people. ✡️ 10 They said, “Please help poor people.” Paul wanted to do this. ❤️ 11 Peter came to Antioch. Paul told Peter to his face, “You are wrong.” ⚠️ 12 Before men from James came, Peter ate with not-Jew friends. When they came, he pulled away. He was scared of the old rule group. ️➡️♂️ 13 Other Jew friends did the same fake thing. Even Barnabas followed them. ➡️ 14 Paul saw they did not live the true Good News. He said to Peter in front of all, “You are a Jew but you live like not-Jews. Do not make not-Jews live like Jews.” ️ 15 We are Jews. We are not from the not-Jew group people call bad. ✡️ 16 We know God makes us right, not by old rules, but when we trust Jesus Christ. So we trust Jesus. No one is made right by old rules. ❤️✝️✅ 17 If we look to Jesus to make us right and we still do wrong, does Jesus lead us to wrong? No! ❓✝️ 18 If I go back and build the old rule life, I show I am the rule breaker. ️⚠️ 19 The old rules showed me I cannot be saved by them. So I stopped living by old rules. Now I live for God. ✝️➡️ 20 I died with Jesus on the cross. Now Jesus lives in me. My life now is by trust in God’s Son. He loved me. He gave His life for me. ✝️❤️ 21 I do not push away God’s gift. If old rules could make us right, then Jesus died for nothing. ✝️
