Galatians 2:1,2
Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took
Titus with me also. And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them
that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were
of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. After
Paul was saved, he took time out for God to teach him about the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Barnabas had a preaching ministry in the Syrian city of Antioch and
talked Paul into going up there with him. While in Antioch, Paul preached to
the Jews. But the non-Jews were curious about salvation too. The non-Jews were
called gentiles. When Paul preached to the gentiles, they were saved and were
baptized. But the Jewish Saved leaders back in Jerusalem just couldn’t believe that gentiles had been saved. They thought that only Jews could be saved. So Paul and Barnabas went back to Jerusalem to discuss the
matter with the Jewish church leaders. They brought Titus, a gentile Christian, with
them. The Jewish leaders were soon convinced that gentiles could be saved. So
Peter preached to mostly Jews and Paul preached mostly to gentiles. But God
saved Jews and gentiles the same way. We are all the children of God through
Jesus Christ, our Lord.
