What Does Acts 10:31 Mean?
Cornelius repeats the angel's words almost exactly as Luke first reported them (v. 4): thy prayer is heard; thine alms are had in remembrance. The message of heaven bears retelling without embellishment.
Heard and remembered — two words every praying soul longs for. The God of heaven keeps account of quiet mercies and long-offered prayers, and in his time the answer comes; for Cornelius it comes as the gospel itself. No prayer is filed away forgotten in the sight of God.
