People want equality. People want to be treated fairly. People want to be valued and know they are significant. People want “CHANGE”. We had a recent president run a campaign based on the concept of “CHANGE”. When you think of that word it means many things to many people. That president certainly brought CHANGE to America, but it wasn’t the kind of CHANGE people wanted, that brought about equality, fair treatment, or significance. The only CHANGE that can bring about those things is an exCHANGED heart, a heart-swop with the Lord Jesus. It’s not until you are transformed by the renewing of your mind that true CHANGE can take place. Here in Acts chapter 10 we see a clear example of a CHANGED HEART. Peter learns that God doesn’t play favorites. He realizes that God chooses to work with gentiles as well as Jews. God accepts people from every nation that fear Him. If the world wants equality, fairness, and true significance, it needs to understand that the CHANGE it seeks, only comes from an exCHANGED HEART. And that is only possible through surrendering to God’s purpose. It starts with repentance. Is this the kind of CHANGE you seek?
34 Then Peter replied, “I see very clearly that God shows no favoritism. 35 In every nation He accepts those who fear Him and do what is right.
