The Fruit of a Christian

The Jewish people at the time of Jesus believed they had a soul and Gentiles were just like animals. They had lived with this mindset for such a long time that even Jesus’ disciples were carried away with the dissimulation.

Our Savior came to pay for the sins of mankind and He commissioned the early church to go out into the world, but before this could happen, the bigoted mindset which was so prevalent had to be supernaturally removed and then there needed to be a teaching which regulated how mankind should live.
