“Opening the Door”
Acts 10: 2: “… a devout man, who feared God with his whole household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people, and prayed to God continually.” Imagine the dilemma of this centurion: He loved God, not just any God, but Jehovah God, with all his heart and soul, and expressed it every way he knew how, yet could not be accepted into the congregation of believers. But with Jesus Christ, all that changed. In the Holy Spirit, all that changed. And though it took a while for the Church to accept it, eventually they got the message: God is not one to show partiality! (v. 34)
