📚 Historical Context

In the early days of the Christian church, Jews and Gentiles were divided by strict religious laws and cultural traditions that viewed Gentiles as unclean and outside God's favor. Peter, a Jewish apostle, experiences a divine vision that overturns these prejudices, prompting him to visit Cornelius, a devout Roman centurion who was not Jewish. This pivotal moment in Acts 10 reveals God's plan to extend salvation to all people, breaking down ethnic and social barriers.
