34So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, 35but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. –Acts 10

There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:28)

1. Some people believe that God accepts people based on nationality or genetic heritage.
2. Peter learned the lesson that day that God doesn’t work that way.
3. God accepts whoever responds to Him appropriately, by the standards that He has set.
4. I personally believe that there is no longer a “chosen people” status for any group.
5. God accepts people based on faith rather than genetics.
6. The Jesus who unifies you is more important than the categories that used to divide.
7. Peter learned a key lesson that day. I wonder about us?–JMB
