The Holy Spirit is the most underutilized power in the life of the Christian.

Dr. Tony Evans talks about the most crucial ally in our spiritual journey.

He is the helper, he is your guideer, he is your enabler.

And when the Holy Spirit is free to do that because that relationship is so thick,

then you actually hear the voice of God.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

Dr. Evans will touch on a number of powerful stories as he continues his look at the Book of Acts today,

highlighting the power of grace over law,

the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers, and the miraculous events that unfold when faith is put into action, both in biblical times and today. There's a lot to digest, so let's dig

right in. We open up with the council at Jerusalem, Church Chapter 15.

This council came about verse one because some men came down from Judea teaching the brethren,

unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved. So they were making the law

a qualification for salvation coming under the law, visualized or manifested through the symbol

of circumcision because, of course, they were coming from a strong Jewish background.

Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and a debate with them.

They were making this requirement of works a part of the gospel.

When the brethren determined that Paul and Bonabas and some others should go to Jerusalem

to the apostles and elders concerning this issue, the old covenant of law has now been replaced with

the new covenant of grace. Romans 614 says you are no longer under the law.

You're now under grace.

The law could only show you what's wrong.

It could never help you make it right.
