The Lord is awe-inspiring, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Acts 10:34-35,
“I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right.”
Peter says he now realizes this truth, because it was a foreign thought to the early church, comprised of only Jews: Gentiles could be saved! This chapter is of huge importance to me as a Gentile! One of the most moving passages of all Scripture to me is, “It will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'” Romans 9:26, where Paul quotes Hosea 1:10.
How wonderful it is that our merciful heavenly Father has included all mankind in the pursuit of his redemptive purposes! There is no group, no demographic, no cultural segment that is excluded from God’s love, from his wonderful invitation, from eternal life, from the promises he made to Abraham! All mankind is free to embrace the Son of his love, whom he sent for us out of his kindness, love and mercy!
What a wonderful God we have!!
