Acts 10:35. “But in every nation he that feareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him.”
ACCEPTED WITH HIM. From every nation they come – brought together by common bond: Unknown to each other – separated by distance, language, culture – Yet coming to a common attraction – drawn by a single similarity – A reverential respect for One who is unseen, yet revealed to righteous eyes Of faith that reasons, and looks beyond the tangible to the real. The proofs are there, so righteous acts toward others Are deeds done as unto Him, who shows Himself as God, Through those made in His image with mind and heart and will.
Why so many? Not one the same, everyone unique in personhood. How can the image of an infinite God be revealed to a watching universe? In every nation, “He that feareth God and worketh righteousness” is accepted, And is a revelator of God-like characteristics that takes thousands – No – more like millions or even billions of persons from every nation – Different in color, language, heritage to display the One True God. Now, all over the world, every day, in every nation, to every generation “Jesus Christ is Lord” – is visibly, morally and personally proclaimed to all mankind.
“It never ceases to amaze me, O God of all nations and people, that the evidence of God is seen in fellow believers every where I have traveled. We are all different but similar; very remote in
background but very close in faith. I thank Thee for all my brothers and sisters in Christ and praise Thee for such grace that took all of us diverse people and made us one in Christ. Amen.”
