What Does Acts 10:35 Mean?
Peter completes the thought: God's welcome is not bounded by nation. He says it standing in the house of a Gentile whose prayers and alms God had received like an offering — Cornelius is the living proof beside him.
The fear of God and the work of righteousness mark a heart turned toward him, and God receives all who so turn, wherever they were born. Yet his welcome does not end there: to such seekers he sends the word of Jesus, as he did to this house. Acceptance opens into good news.
