This document discusses how people who are not like "us" can experience hope without having to become like "us". It summarizes key events from Acts chapters 1, 5, 10, and 15 where the early church expanded to include Gentiles. The vision Peter received told him that applying Torah laws in a way that makes it difficult for people to experience God's hope is wrong. The Jerusalem council decided Gentile believers did not need to follow all Jewish laws or customs. They advised abstaining only from idolatry, blood, strangled animals, and sexual immorality, allowing Gentiles to experience the same hope through grace without fully adopting the Jewish way of life.
