Galatians 2:11-13
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him publicly, speaking strongly against what he was doing, for it was very wrong.
12 When he first arrived, he ate with the Gentile Christians, who don't bother with circumcision. But afterward, when some Jewish friends of James came, Peter wouldn't eat with the Gentiles anymore because he was afraid of what these legalists would say.
13 Then the other Jewish Christians followed Peter's hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was influenced to join them in their hypocrisy. (NLT)
It is very important for us to know scripture and to follow what God wants us to do. We are no longer under the old testament law because Christ is the fulfillment of the law. We are now in Christ and we are to live in Christ. We are no longer to go back but to press forward on to Christ. Peter started off well but fear caused him to stumble and sin. We do not have to fear any longer for Christ lives in us. In Christ all men and women are equal. No one is any better than anyone else. Always turn to Christ if you feel fear arising in you. Satan wants you to be fearful so that he can get you out of the game. Seek God about the weak areas of your walk and yield them unto Christ the author and finisher of your faith.
