Cornelius Bows Before Peter
God's Display of Mercy
God told the whole world through Isaiah: "Look unto Me and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else....unto Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear (confess)". This was repeated by Paul in Romans 14:11 and Philippians 2:9-11.
A lot of people have trouble with this. The world at large has BIG trouble with it. God made every person in the world and He died for every person He made.. Salvation is of the Lord (Ex.14:13 and 37 other places).
God has made it His responsibility to show every person He made what He wants them to know at any given time and He does it quite well. He may speak through His creation, history, fulfilled prophecy, the ordering of events, or through His servants. He may use angels, visions or dreams to those who have no Bible and no human contact. This is happening in the Moslem world often today. God has chosen to provide His printed word in many languages. However, most people throughout history have never seen a Bible nor have they ever heard of Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son. No dream or vision or impression of our spirits will ever contradict the Word of God. God draws people to His Son and without it they cannot come to Him (John 6:44). Jesus said: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32).:
