The story of Cornelius’ conversion and Peter’s failure to grasp the significance of the new covenant is just fascinating. God is so patient with us. He slowly reveals the truth to us at a pace we can understand. Acts 10 is a great example of this. Peter did not want to visit Cornelius let alone eat with him because it was forbidden for a Jewish man to associate with or visit a foreigner, and especially eat unclean food. But God showed Peter that he must not call any person common
or unclean, “Now I really understand that God doesn’t show favoritism, but in every nation the person who fears Him and does righteousness is acceptable to Him” (ACTS 10:34-35). Peter continues to preach the gospel to Cornelius, and the Holy Spirit descends upon him. The circumcised believers who came with Peter were blown away because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Gentiles, too. They were living and witnessing what Jesus had preached.
Peter, then, baptized Cornelius shortly after for the forgiveness of sins (ACTS 2:38).

There have always been nominal Christians who claim to follow Jesus in word, but not so much in deed. We see this happen almost immediately. There are those who pretend to care and test God’s Holy Spirit. This is something that every Bible-believing Christian knows not to do. The Holy Spirt is th...

Light; John 7-8
The effects of light are palpable: even the tiniest bit of light can make a room or area crossable. Where there is no light, however, there is danger, the unknown, and fear. Jesus said that He was the light of the world, that everyone who believes in Him and follows Him would not walk in darkness...
