Paul, Barnabas, Peter, and many other believers experience the difficulty of spiritual warfare, trying to steal away the simplicity of the Gospel message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, as some people try to put the new converts back into a yoke of bondage by following old testament laws. Without realizing it, they are actually challenging God's plan and His right to present a new way, a new law of love and a new covenant through His son, Jesus Christ.
