📖Acts 10:33 So I sent for you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here, waiting before God to hear the message the Lord has given you.”[NLT]📖
✅In understanding this authority we see the a lesson of submission to that authority.
✍Cornelius was not ready to just obey a portion of what this God called, God sent man told him. Again in verse 33 Cornelius makes reference to hearing all the words Peter spoke. We will not be saved with multiple choice obedience to the things of God but submission to His sovereignty.
2 Kings 5:12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.[ESV]
✍Looking at Naaman again, he was not disturbed about WHAT he had to do….just where. Be very careful you dont try to choose your preference for salvation. It must comply with the Word of God.
✅The final lesson we learn from Cornelius is action.
Acts 10:44-48″ Even as Peter was saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who were listening to the message. 45 The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles, too. 46 For they heard them speaking in other tongues and praising God. Then Peter asked, 47 “Can anyone object to their being baptized, now that they have received the Holy Spirit just as we did?”. 48 So he gave orders for them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Afterward Cornelius asked him to stay with them for several days.[NLT]
✍He did not delay.
✍He acted on what he learned.
✍He did not passively sit by and let these words of salvation drop on deaf ears. In other words…just do it.🛐🛐 May the LORD help us to apply these truths we have learnt from Cornelius in our daily live by the help of the Holy spirit in Jesus Name. AMEN 🙏🙏🙏
