Acts 10:34-35 - Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favouritism but accepts men from every nation who fear him and do what is right."
Here is an excerpt from Matthew Henry's commentary on this passage: "Acceptance cannot be obtained on any other ground than that of the
covenant of mercy, through the atonement of Christ; but wherever true
religion is found, God will accept it without regarding names or sects." (Derived from bible.cc).
Peter's statement reminds me of what Jesus himself said in the Sermon on the Mount. We read that particular passage a couple days ago in Matthew chapter 5:43-48. God causes the rain to fall on the righteous and the unrighteous and does not treat anyone differently, as he loves all of us.
