In every Nation - acceptance with God

Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But **in every nation** he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. (Acts 10:34-35) *1/ In every nation - By Prophecy, example and fulfilment. 2/ Our great need - Acceptance with God. 3/ The cause of our acceptance. 4/ The fruit of our acceptance.* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on Acts 10:34–35, emphasizing that God is no respecter of persons and accepts all who fear Him and do righteousness, a truth rooted in divine prophecy, fulfilled in the inclusion of Gentiles like Cornelius, and demonstrated through the Holy Spirit's outpouring on them. It underscores the necessity of spiritual acceptance with God, which is not earned by human effort, prayer, or righteousness, but solely through faith in Christ's atoning work, as revealed in the preached gospel. The sermon distinguishes between the fruit of salvation—such as godly fear and righteous living—and the ground of acceptance, which is Christ alone, exalted as the sole basis of justification. It calls believers to recognize the providential hand of God in uniting prepared hearts with prepared messengers, and to rejoice in the global reach of the gospel, where the simple proclamation of Christ's death and resurrection brings true conversion and lasting fruit in every nation.
