  9/17/2020 28 “For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials: Acts 15:28 The Holy Spirit works in union with the Apostles and disciples. God is not some despotic ruler of the Church.   Not at all He is a God of love.   He works with his servants not for any selfish reasons.   In Christ we are brought to perfection.   The best that we can be.   God does not look at the outward, He sees the inward parts of our hearts and souls.
