 What do you make of this passage? |
Aaron Scott |
| Quote: | (Acts 10:34 KJV) Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
(Acts 10:35 KJV) But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. |
Was this true at the time when Peter said it? For there were nations that likely didn't know of Jesus (apparently Cornelius didn't). What thinkest thou? |

Shalom Aaron, it was always the plan of G-d to bring the Gentiles in the Covenant Isa 49:6 & being Egyptians came out with the Jews in the Exodus, Ex 12:38. But they became kinda high-minded & didn't share the Gospel Message to the world. This is evident in the later versus chapter 10:45-47, as they were astonished that the Holy Ghost fell on the Gentiles, hence G-d is not a respecter of persons...
Cornelius certainly did know this Acts 10:1-3, he was a devout man, and when that fear G-d and he built synagogues for the Jewish people, G-d called him clean. 10:31, his prayers came up to G-d & G-d answered him.
10:35; But in "every nation", (gentile nation) he that fears Him (G-d) & "works" Righteousness (Torah Deut 6:25, James 2:27-24) *is* accepted of Him. It's faith in G-d & our keeping (works) His Commandments,/Torah 😋
