NOW GOD GIVES GENTILES THE PRIVILEGE OF RECEIVING ETERNAL LIFE

Acts 11, News reached the apostles in Judea that Gentiles also were being converted! When Peter arrived back in Jerusalem, the Jewish believers argued with him. “You fellowship with Gentiles and even ate with them.” Then Peter said, “while I was praying, I saw a vision a huge sheet, let down by its four corners from the sky. Inside the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles, and birds which we are not to eat. And I heard a voice say, ‘Kill and eat whatever you wish.’ “‘Peter replied. ‘I have never yet eaten anything forbidden by our Jewish laws!’ “But the voice came again, ‘Don’t say it isn’t right when God declares it is!’ “Just then three men came to take me with them to Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying! The Holy Spirit told me to go with them and not to worry about them being Gentiles! Peter said: I began telling them the Good News, but just as I was getting started with my sermon, the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as he fell on us at the beginning! Then I remembered the Lord’s words when he said, ‘Yes, John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit. If God who gave these Gentiles the same gift he gave us, who was I to argue?” When the others heard this, all their objections were answered began praising God! God has given to the Gentiles the privilege of turning to him and receiving eternal life!” FRIENDS, NOW GOD ACCEPTS PEOPLE WHO COME TO JESUS FROM ALL NATIONS! Revelation 7:9-11 I saw a vast crowd from all nations and provinces and languages, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They were shouting with a mighty shout, “Salvation comes from God and the Lamb upon the throne.” All the angels, Elders and the four Living Beings fell face down before the throne and worshipped God.
