The Apostle Peter had been called to the home of Cornelius, a Roman Centurion stationed in Caesarea. It says that he and his whole household feared God and gave generously to those in need. Both Cornelius and Peter had been visited by angels who prepared them for the transformation from Old Testament Law and the Old Covenant to the New Covenant of faith by grace alone. In this verse, Peter grasps the mind-blowing importance of it… that God is impartial, or as Deuteronomy 10:17-18 pointed out, God shows no partiality, prejudice, or bias to any man who trusts in Him. So, their meeting that day was the culmination in its fullest expression of the Good News of the Gospel Message for both Jew & Gentile. Or as Romans 1:16 reminds us, that Salvation is for everyone who believes.
