What did Cornelius do in the Bible?

Cornelius becomes the first Gentile baptized in church history. He is depicted in the New Testament as a God-fearing man who always prayed and was full of good works and deeds of alms. Despite being a Roman, Cornelius was a worshiper of God, and respected by the Jewish community. We can learn a lot from the story of Peter and Cornelius. Firstly, we understand that following God often takes humility. Cornelius revered the Jewish people and also the Christians, despite his Roman background. Most Romans would’ve sneered at anyone who didn’t have Roman citizenship. But Cornelius shows true humility and reverence. Also, this story shows the importance of preaching the Gospel to unreached people. We may think too far when we hear this, but most likely, we have people in our own neighborhoods who haven’t had Gospel exposure. Reach out to them.
