What Does Acts 10:7 Mean?
The obedience is immediate: the angel is scarcely gone before Cornelius is choosing messengers. He picks men close to him — two of his household, and a soldier marked, like his master, by devotion.
A godly life gathers godly company. Cornelius's faith has shaped his house so thoroughly that even among his soldiers there is a man of reverence ready to carry a sacred errand. Influence of that kind is slow, quiet work — and when God moves, it is ready.
