ACTS Part 2 // Week 6 // CORNELIUS 2

About this episode

This episode discusses Peter's encounter with Cornelius and the implications of the gospel's power to include Gentiles in God's kingdom through faith.

Peter’s encounter with Cornelius reveals the gospel’s power to break barriers, as God welcomes Gentiles fully into His kingdom through faith in Christ alone. Peter refuses worship, pointing all glory to Jesus. As Cornelius and his household believe, the Holy Spirit falls on them just as at Pentecost, proving that salvation is by grace through faith, not works or rituals, and that every believer is sealed by the Spirit and called to respond in obedient baptism.
