Acts 10:34
Peter Preaches Christ to Cornelius and the Gentiles This section records Peter’s sermon to Cornelius and his household. It marks a turning point in Christian history: Peter realizes that God accepts people from every nation who fear Him and do what is right. The gospel is now clearly being offered to the Gentiles, not just to Jews. Peter presents the good news about Jesus, the peace He brings, and the forgiveness He offers to all who believe in Him. v. 34–35: Peter begins by saying that he now truly understands that God does not show favoritism. Instead, anyone from any nation who fears God and does what is right is acceptable to Him. This means that God’s love and salvation are not limited to one group or nationality, but are for everyone who turns to Him.
