Cephas was one of the disciples who stand to preach the gospel to the world no matter the challenges that he faced.
Cephas did something which does not go according to the rule. When Cephas came to Antioch Paul opposed his face because he stood condemned. Before certain men came from James, he ate with the gentiles, but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party.

And with him, the rest of the Jews acted insincerely so that even Barnabas was carried away by their insincerity. But when I saw that they were not straightforward about the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before them all, if you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a jew, how can you compel the gentiles to live like Jews?

We, who are Jews by birth and not Gentiles sinners, yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified.

But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we were found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin?
Certainly not!
But if I build up again those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor. For me through the law died to the law, that I might lie to God.

I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who
Lived in me, and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if justification were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Beloved, let all remain in Christ because with him everything is possible. May the good lord help us to live in his way, as the coming of Christ is at hand.
Thanks for having a special time with this article.
