Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend; Paul wrote, "If anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their wrongdoings against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation." (2 Corinthians 5:17-19) God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself How could the Holy God reconcile rebellious humanity to Himself? John wrote, "If anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." (1 John 2:1-2) Jesus accepted the death which humanity earned. (Romans 6:23) Cornelius - a Roman centurion - revered God and continually prayed to Him. So God instructed him to send for Peter in a vision. While Cornelius' men were coming to get him Peter, God gave Peter a vision too. (Acts 10:1-8) When Peter arrived at Cornelius' home, Cornelius related his dream to Peter and Peter said, "I really understand now that God does not show favoritism. In every country God accepts anyone who worships Him and does what is right." (Acts 10:34-35 (EXB))
