What Does Galatians 2:10 Mean?
The single thing the leaders asked was that the poor not be forgotten. It was not a condition added to the gospel but an expression of it — love made practical, care for those in need. The gospel of grace overflows naturally into generosity.
And Paul was already glad to do it. He needed no urging; remembering the poor was close to his heart. The agreement in Jerusalem ended not with a burden laid on the Gentiles but with a shared commitment to mercy, a sign that grace and good works belong together.
