THE LETTER THAT GAVE THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD

Acts 15:22–41 recount the final outcome of the Council of Jerusalem council’s, namely the letter to the Gentile churches, the guidance given to preserve Jewish–Gentile fellowship, and the importance of mature churches encourageing younger ones. It also shows how God even uses the sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas over John Mark to create two missionary teams in the place of one, hastening the spread of the gospel to the Gentiles and demonstrating that all things do work together for good.
