Acts 10:1–11:18
Who can be in God’s family? Anyone saved by Jesus and sealed by His Spirit is welcomed by grace.
The Setup
- God is setting up a meeting between Cornelius and Peter, proactively dismantling Old Covenant barriers.
The Surprise
- The Gentiles are sealed by the Spirit in the New Covenant through Jesus, without becoming Jewish.
The Sorting
- In the New Covenant, Jews and Gentiles alike come directly to the Father, through Jesus alone, by the Spirit.
Takeaway: “Ever welcome to this house of God are strangers and the poor.”
