How God Does His Business

Q: What does the Bible say about God's sovereignty in salvation?

The Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all aspects of salvation, orchestrating events for His purpose. In Acts 10, we see God's sovereignty demonstrated through the events surrounding Cornelius and Peter. God orchestrates the meeting between Cornelius, a Gentile, and Peter, a Jew, to convey the gospel. Romans 8:28 emphasizes that God works all things together for good to those who are called according to His purpose. God's sovereignty ensures that the gospel reaches those whom He has chosen, illustrating that He is in full control of the salvation process.

Q: How do we know that the gospel is for all people?

The gospel is for all people as evidenced by God sending Peter to preach to Cornelius, showing His plans include Gentiles. In John 3:16, we are reminded that God loves the world, indicating the inclusivity of the gospel message. In Acts 10, God specifically instructs Peter to share the gospel with Cornelius, a Gentile, breaking previous barriers of prejudice within the Jewish community. This moment reveals that God’s plan for salvation extends beyond just the Jews to include all nations, affirming the truth that all who are called may come to faith in Christ.

Q: Why is understanding God's purpose important for Christians?

Understanding God's purpose gives Christians assurance that He is in control and has a plan for their lives. Recognizing God's sovereignty and purpose in our lives brings immense comfort and assurance to believers. In Isaiah 46:9-10, God declares that He is in control, declaring the end from the beginning. This means that all events in our lives, including our salvation, are a part of His divine plan. Understanding this allows Christians to trust in God, knowing He has a specific purpose for their struggles, growth, and witness to others, ultimately aligning them with His will.

Q: What does the Bible say about how God communicates His message?

God primarily communicates the gospel through those He has saved, as shown by sending Peter to Cornelius. In Acts 10, God does not use angels to deliver His most important message of salvation; instead, He sends Peter, who has been called and transformed by His grace. This pattern of God using redeemed individuals to proclaim His message continues throughout Scripture. It underscores the significance of the church and believers as instruments for sharing the gospel, emphasizing the responsibility Christians have to communicate God's truth to a lost world.

We direct your attention this morning to the book of Acts again, the book of Acts chapter 10. Would you join me in the book of Acts chapter 10 as we continue in looking at what the Bible has to say? I want to know what the Bible has to say. God's Word, what does it say to me? What does it say to the world? What does it say to all? Well, here in this passage of scripture, we have God demonstrating again how He does His business. The last reading that we had last Sunday, we read about a man by the name of Cornelius.

He was an Italian man. He was a Roman soldier. He was an officer in the Roman armies, a centurion. And he's been put into a place, probably not something he voted on, but something he was imposed on to be here in Israel at this time. And God appeared unto him.

And we, you know, to many people, what God had to say to him through that angel, they just assume that he's already a saved person. But we found out, if we travel to the next chapter, that he was going to be instructed on how to be saved. That's what God was doing. He's taken care of his business. He has a business in this world, and that's to save his people from their sins.

And he demonstrates that he does this on purpose. And he appeared unto this man here in the book of, let me get him, Cornelius. He appeared unto Cornelius on purpose. Now, When he appeared unto Cornelius on purpose and shared those truths with him, he did not have that angel deliver the most important message that could be delivered, because he does not use angels to deliver that message. You know who he uses to deliver the message, the most important message that you or I will ever hear is not a message delivered by angels, but it's a message delivered by who God has saved by His grace. and called to go out and declare the gospel. So it's not an angel's message. It wasn't the mission of that angel to do that for Cornelius. He does not do that. Angels do not do that. But God called people do that. So we're going to have to have someone else come along. And in God's purpose, he's going to appear unto Peter. Peter is close by, but that is not the problem or issue.

He could have been, as we find Philip, called to go down to the Ethiopian eunuch. How far did he travel that God would make the person who was reading the Bible an Ethiopian eunuch who was just as religious as Cornelius was? I doubt very seriously if they sat down together, they'd have much differences, because they were both Gentiles, and they both were religious, and they were religious in the Jewish religion. We read last time about this man, Cornelius, being a proselyte of the gate. He had accepted much of the Jewish religion. He was a proselyte of much of what they taught, but there were a couple of things he did not go along with, and so he is called a proselyte of the gate.

Well, to have this whole thing shared with us, God goes on in this chapter 10 and shares with us what must happen next. And that is, He appears unto a man, and his man's name is Peter. And Peter is there. We've witnessed some of the things that he's done. And we just find out that God is truly the Director of all things because He is the Creator of all things. He is going to direct the mission. He's going to direct who the mission is to. He's going to direct the one who takes the word to that person. And he's always doing that.

It is not a mistake that the gospel came to your ears or my ears. It was on purpose that God did that. It wasn't just somewhere we decided. He decided to send out a flurry of message and for no purpose at all. He has always had a purpose in that. We are blessed to have shown us the very special way that God works because He is God.

And so we begin reading here in Acts chapter 10, beginning with verse 9. Now, Cornelius has got a couple of his helpers, a couple of his servants, a couple of his slaves. and one of his soldiers headed for Joppa. And as they travel along, we are brought into the scene where Peter is. It tells us here, And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa, Now, on the next day, on the morrow, as they went on their journey and drew nigh unto the city, we are introduced to one of the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was there also on purpose.

Now, Peter is going to have a problem to begin with, with going to see Cornelius. You know, Peter was like all of the other Jewish boys and girls. They had been brought up in their Sunday school that the only people that God is ever going to save are Jews. They had been taught this from the very beginning of their education. There was a reason they asked the Lord Jesus on the day he ascended back to heaven.

Will you at this time restore the kingdom unto us? Now, it doesn't take very long for us to go into the Old Testament and find out it's been many years since there's been a kingdom. Hundreds of years since there's been a kingdom. They had interlopers in there for centuries, telling them what to do. And now, here we have Peter, who is in that bunch, and it has some real prejudice. Aren't you glad that God helps us deal with our prejudice? He enabled Peter to deal with his prejudice. and realize that the gospel is going out to Gentiles too. All right. So on the moral, it tells us here, Peter went up on the housetop to pray about the sixth hour.

That was his norm. That's what he did. And then it says there, he became very hungry while he's up there and would have eaten. And some of the translation says when they were preparing his food. So it's real night hand. They wouldn't, he would have eaten, but will they, but while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened. and a certain vessel descending unto him, as if it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners and let down to the earth, wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air."

One of the commentaries that I read said, everything that was on Noah's ark was in that sheet. Everything. Now, it's spiritual. It's not literal. It's a vision. It's something God is showing him. So it doesn't take 400 acres of linen cloth to let them all down in. It's symbolic. And in there, he saw everything that was on the ark, creeping things and fowls of the air and clean beasts and unclean beasts.

And as we follow this out, we find that the Lord tells him, there came a voice to him, rise Peter, kill and eat. But Peter said, not so Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. So from a dietary view, he's been real Jewish. He hasn't enjoyed chicken or pork, our staples. He has kept himself clean when it comes to dietary rules brought out under the Levitical priesthood. Now, I'm just going to say this, if you want that kind of diet, go for it. But don't impose it on someone else for religious reasons. Do what you want to do. Eat what you want to eat. All right.

When we look at this passage of Scripture, we are caused to realize again the very importance of what the Apostle Paul wrote to the Romans and was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write it. for the children, excuse me, Romans 8, 28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose, Romans 8, 28. Now, Peter at the moment may not thought that this was a good thing, but he's gonna realize all things work together for good. to those who are the called of God. According to His purpose, He calls them. And He loves His people dearly, and He never asks them to do a wrong thing.

So we have here this fulfilled. Behind all of this runs God's sovereignty over all things. We have here shown in this 10th chapter of Acts how God does His business. He knows the beginning from the end, and the end from the beginning. He knows it because He has purposed it, and He will carry it out exactly as He has purposed.

There's a couple of passages I'd like us to look at along this view as we turn to the book of Isaiah for a moment. In the book of Isaiah chapter 46, we are called on to read this. Isaiah chapter 46 and verse 9 and 10. Isaiah chapter 46 verses 9 and 10, we remember these things about God.

God put them here so that we would have the comfort that we need in the days that we live in, just as it was in the days of Peter and Paul, just as it was days in the later centuries. We have here, it tells us, remember the former things of old, for I am God and there's none else. I am God and there is none like me.

Declaring the end from the beginning. How many times have you wished you could do that? Boy, I'd like to know how this is going to turn out before I start my journey. And yet we find with regard to God declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done saying my counsel shall stand and I will do all my pleasure. This was God's absolute pleasure to do this great task to Peter this day as he is in this trance. to see this sheet brought down full of all these creeping things and telling Peter, God telling Peter, and God never tells us with the idea, we're leaving this open for discussion. You know what he told Peter? I command you, rise up and eat. It is never open for discussion. God never opens his word to discussion.

In the beginning, God. All right. Follow with me as we travel back to the book of Acts chapter 15 for just one verse of scripture, Acts chapter 15 and verse 18. As we think about this, what is happening here is on God's purpose, He has had it ordained from before the foundation of the world. God had everything carried out, worked out, planned out, purposed before the foundation of the world, and nothing runs amok or catches Him off guard. In Acts 15, verse 18, it says, No, unto God are all His works from the beginning of the world. Everything is planned. Everything is purposed. And everything that falls out is according to the script. He is the director of all things.

Oh, our prayer is, Lord, help me to agree with your will. Help me to agree with your will. I don't want your will changed. I need my will changed. That's the thing. His will is perfect. He will carry it out accordingly. God does all things as pleases Him, and He never is surprised. He never goes in a wrong direction, and He is required, never asked to stop and ask for directions. He's always doing all things after the counsel of His own will.

Now it tells us there, going back to the book of Acts chapter 10, there in verse 10, that Peter was put in a trance. You know, there's a lot of variations of what this might mean. Let's just go to what the Bible has to say about it. a trance. It says there, he fell into a trance. Now, to a lot of people that means a lot of different things, but the scriptures share with us exactly what that means.

You know, there is a translation of the Bible, the Hebrew Bible, into Greek, and it's called the Septuagint. It's the first translation of the Old Testament into another language, and it was done between 100 and 300 B.C. in Alexandria, Egypt. And you can still get a copy of it. In fact, I have a copy of it on my phone.

And in that translation, the same word in the Greek that we read here with regard to trance is found over in the book of Genesis. So would you travel with me over to the book of Genesis for one verse of scripture? In the book of Genesis, we read here in chapter 2, Genesis chapter 2 and verse 21, the exact same Hebrew word.

The Hebrew word was translated into the Greek language so that the Greek scholars, what happened to the people that were under the Greek rule of Alexander? Most of them forgot their language. Many of them were at Alexandria, named after Alexander the Great. They were Hebrews that were speaking Greek. And you know what? Somebody says, we need to have the Old Testament in our language. So scholars got together and went through the Hebrew Bible and wrote what we know as the Septuagint. And in the Septuagint, this Greek word that we found in the book of Acts chapter 10, which is the word trance, is found in Genesis chapter 2 and verse 21. And it says here, and the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam. And he slept and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof.

Now in God's purpose, This is exactly what he had purpose to do so that this man, Adam, could have a wife. Now he, God being sovereign, could have done the same thing that he did with Adam. But he chose not to. And when he chose to do this and give him a wife, he didn't make another mud child. He did not cause the dust of the ground to gather together and create a life out of it.

He took a rib. Either you believe it or you don't. He took a rib out of Adam. Now, how did he do that? He put him in, what? A trance. He put him to sleep. He put him in a stupor, in a sense. And we find here that that word that is found in this passage of scripture, this Old Testament word to be put into a trance means to be put into a place that is almost supernatural. And you know, as we follow this out, we're going to find out that in really many ways speaks of how God saves his people and what we call the new birth. How do you explain it? It's supernatural. It's something God does on somebody.

All right, travel with me, if you would, to the book of Ezekiel. And the same word is used there in the book of Ezekiel as we think about Peter put into a trance. In Ezekiel 1, verse 1, we read this word, this verse of Scripture, and in this verse of Scripture, we have this thought brought out. Ezekiel chapter 1 verse 1, And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, I was among the captives by the river Chebar, and the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. I was put into a trance. And what did he see? He saw visions of God. Now, this event imposed upon Peter, it was not drug-induced. It was not human-induced. It was not preacher induced. It was not personally induced. He didn't put himself into this stupor. He didn't put himself into this trance. God did it because he's going to reveal something very important to Peter.

Now this same word is found again in the book of Acts chapter 11. Would you turn there with me? to the book of Acts chapter 11, as we think about Peter put into a trance by Almighty God, that it was not what we often hear about being put into a trance.

He's not foaming at the mouth. He's seeing things. God provided to show him some things that he needed to know before he went over and was a testimony of the gospel of God's free and sovereign grace to a man by the name of Cornelius. God is revealing to him the necessity of going to this Gentile.

Here in the book of Ezekiel, excuse me, Acts chapter 11 and verse 5, Peter recounting, he says, I was in the city of Joppa praying and in a trance I saw a vision. God brought him this trance. The external, the senses were suspended and God reveals something in a particular manner to Peter as he has other people throughout the scriptures. This event was the most important event for Peter.

Peter was put in this trance by God and for God's purpose and Peter was a child of God and God was going to educate him in the gospel this very day. What happened was a supernatural and came from above and did not arise from any natural cause. He did not foam at the mouth. He did not start uncontrollable convulsions. He was in the arms of God at peace and ready for instructions.

And the first instructions he gets, he argues with. Did you notice that? the first instructions that Peter gets by God upon looking into that sheet. What do we have there? Going back to the book of Acts chapter 10. In the book of Acts chapter 10, and there we read He's in a trance, verse 10, I saw heaven opened, a certain vessel descending onto him as it had a great sheet knit at the four corners and looked down to the earth. Verse 12, wherein were all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, rise Peter, kill and eat. What is Peter's response? Not so, Lord, for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. Do you remember Peter saying something like this before?

When Christ Jesus told his disciples, I must go into Jerusalem. I must be arrested. I must be beaten. I must be slain. I must be put on a cross. And then the third day I'll rise again. And what was Peter's comment? Oh, not so, Lord. We're not going to let that happen. You know, in that passage of Scripture, there is a word used, and it's capitalized, and I just am so sure that our translators made a terrible mistake, because Jesus Christ never calls one of His children Satan. And in that verse of Scripture, it says, Get thee behind me, Satan. Now, I'm going to go back to the original meaning of that word, and not a capital S, but a small s, and that word meant adversary. At that moment, Peter was an adversary.

He was taking the wrong trip. He was going the wrong direction. He wasn't listening to what the Lord Jesus Christ said. Have you ever done that? Boy, that's a hard verse of Scripture. I just don't know about that one. Oh, that's a hard doctrine. I don't know about that one. You know what? Christ is gonna teach Peter to keep his mouth closed when orders are given. Not so, Lord. And it isn't just a soft, I don't think so, Lord. It's a harsh, I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. Well, you know, the Lord is patient. Did you ever notice that?

The Lord is so patient with Peter, He does this three times. He brings it up, drops it back down, rise, kill and eat, brings it up, drops it back down. Let's follow this out. In verse 15, And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. This was done thrice, three times, and the vessel was received up into heaven again into heaven. This was done three times on purpose to teach a lesson to Peter that we all have to learn. Obey the voice of the Lord. Don't argue with it. Obey the voice of the Lord. It doesn't matter how long we have been saved. It is never a good idea to argue with God. Physically or spiritually. It's God's great ministry to the church to reveal the truths as it is in Christ Jesus.

Verse 17, Now when Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had just had seen should mean, behold, the men that were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house and stood before the gate. and called and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.

While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing, for I have sent them. Then Peter went down to the men which were sent, him from Cornelius, and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek, what is the cause wherewith ye are come?

And they said, Cornelius, a centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nations of the Jews, was warned of God by a holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. And then called he them in and lodged, and on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren with Joppa accompanied him. And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea, and Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up, I myself also am a man. Oh, as the apostle Peter is called of God to go down to Caesarea, the message that Peter is going to deliver is so important, and that is the gospel. The gospel of Jesus Christ is what he's going to talk about there.

Now, the angel couldn't deliver that message, and his religion could not deliver that message. His former religion, The Roman myths and goddesses could not deliver him that message. There needed to be someone that God sent who knew something about the gospel, and the only people that know something about the gospel is the ones God has revealed the gospel to. Now, it's still a mystery. We cannot explain it all, but it is something that God has given to some people, and that is the grace of God in Christ Jesus. When God saves somebody, they have a different view of God. You know, I made a profession of faith, and I've mentioned this, but it didn't change my view of God one iota. He didn't get any bigger. He didn't get any smaller. He was still the same. I didn't have a different view about God's Word.

Oh, it's God's Word. There are parts of it I had real trouble with. Everything that I had was the same after my profession of faith. And yet, the preacher was so glad that I had walked the aisle. You know, He had a lot to say. Oh my goodness, we got a new brother in the Lord and blah, blah, blah. I'm going to have to have a baptism next Sunday and all that stuff that went on with it. God was pleased in time to allow me to hear the gospel. And he did something for me. It wasn't me doing something for God. and the gospel.

Now, that's who has to go to Cornelius. Now, did you notice Cornelius' attitude towards this man, Peter, when he came in? He fell down and thought, my goodness, you are somebody. And you know what Peter did? I'm a sinner saved by grace. That's all he did. I'm just like you are. I'm just like you are.

Now, what was the message he's going to deliver? We're not going to take the time to read all this and go to that point, but I want to go to a point, a place where this gospel message is brought out in one verse of Scripture, and that is in the book of Titus, chapter 3. Would you travel with me to the book of Titus, chapter 3? In Titus chapter three, we have the message that Peter essentially is going to bring. He's gonna preach a message there.

And it's gonna have great effect because God has a group of people there that he intends to affect them. God has gathered together some of his lost sheep. And this under shepherd is gonna go with the best news that they could ever hear. And that is the message of Christ and what he has done for his people.

I'll never forget a man coming to me just shortly after I came to the Dalles and telling me, is this all you're going to preach? And I had to ask him, what? What are you talking about? Is all you're going to preach is Christ? And I said, that's all I got. And then I said, what do you want? Well, I need to know how to treat my wife and my kids. I need to know what foods to eat. I need to blah, blah, blah. And I says, you know what?

If you ever hear the gospel, that will take care of all those issues. You'll go to the Bible and say, husband, love your wives even as Christ has loved the church. Children, obey your parents and the Lord for this is right. Eat what you feel like eating, but don't be offensive. straightens it all out. The issues are ironed out so plainly, and we don't make much out of nothing, but we make everything out of Him with whom we have to do.

All right, Book of Titus, Chapter 3. The Book of Titus, Chapter 3, in verse 5, we have summed up in this verse of Scripture all the glories that the Apostle Peter is going to share and all the messages he's ever preached. All that Paul is ever going to preach, any preacher that's ever preached the truth, here it is. Titus 3, verse 5, it says, not by works of righteousness which we have done. Titus 3, verse 5, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy.

It's never by works. Peter's going to share that with Cornelius. All the good things that you've done, all of the alms you've done, all of the genuflects you've done, all the honors that you've done, all the works as a proselyte of the gate are zero. In fact, Peter is going to, or Paul is going to write later, it's all done. It's worthless. It accounts for nothing. not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy."

Now notice the next three words, this is it. He saved us. The sum in total of everything that Peter and Paul and all of the apostles and every preacher of the gospel has ever said He saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost. Now, what do we find in that verse of Scripture? It's all summed up. Titus chapter 3, verse 5. We have the source. Where is our salvation? Where is the salvation that Peter is going to declare to Cornelius? The salvation that Paul declared wherever he went? Where is the source of that salvation?

It is bound up in Him. the source. Salvation begins with God. It never begins with man. It's not us consenting to what God said. I got so tired of hearing, and forgive me if I've mentioned this before, God has done all He can do. that just wearies me now. It just wearies me that God has done all He can do. My goodness, what a limited God that has done all He could do. I want a God, the Bible declares a God that has done all.

He is it. He is He. He's the source. Salvation begins with Carried out in and will be finished with God We have nothing to contribute Now we have everything to gain now the next thing in that verse of scripture that the Apostle Peter and all the rest of the disciples and every preacher of righteousness will ever bring out in the scriptures as it tells us there he saved He did not make us save a bowl and But He saved. They shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins. He saved. He took the weary. He took the... He doesn't rehabilitate, He regenerates.

It's a salvation that is so enduring, so long-lasting, so eternal. It's not a flicker of light. It's not a candle that burns out. It sticks as God is the Savior. He saves His people from their sins. And that's what God declares unto us to share. He saves. It's a salvation that is eternal. That's why he can say, I give eternal life. He saved. And then, you know, in the next thing, there's some objects of this salvation. He saved us.

Us. Specific group of people called his church, not the worthy or the wise. He mentions that in scripture. How few wise, how few rich, how few, how few. He saves sinners. He saves the helpless, hell-deserving sinners, once enemies of the cross, once enemies of Christ, once enmity with God, once carry not one wit, what God had to say, rebellious and strangers. That's who God saves. So it tells us in that verse of scripture, he saved us.

Now, the apostle Peter is going to go into Cornelius's house and he's going into a Gentile home that all his life he's been told, don't you dare go into those homes. They'll ruin you. My dad caused his family to grow up on a farm about two miles from town. And town was 180 people, but he didn't want us to be around those city kids. They'd ruin you. They'll ruin you. Wow. Don't go into the house of the Gentiles because they'll ruin you.

They'll tell you it's okay to eat meat that you don't eat. And it'd be okay to bow down before gods that you don't bow down to. Peter went over there because God commanded him to go to Cornelius and preach the gospel to him. And then he goes back home to Jerusalem and says, let me tell you what God did in Caesarea. He's appeared to the Gentiles. He's brought the gospel to the Gentiles.

And you know, there's a verse of scripture there in that, let me see, it's verse, just a moment here. Verse 44 of the book of Acts chapter 10. And with this, we'll close. Acts chapter 10, verse 44. After Peter had preached that message, this is the result. And it's not human-induced. There's no plane of just as I am in the background. There's no words of men's wisdom. It's just the message of Christ. And here's the results.

While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all of them which heard the word. Oh my goodness, now we got something to talk about. The Holy Spirit fell on them, look at what they're going to do. You know what? That is explained in 1 Thessalonians where it says they came not in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Ghost.

Peter's message was accompanied with power, God's power, the Spirit's power, and God saved His people just as He determined to do. It wasn't a big jumble that was going on. There were some people that didn't know the gospel. Peter preached the gospel, and God allowed them to hear the gospel, and the Spirit identified those people and came down in regeneration, and it was in power of the Holy Ghost. And that's how God does His business. Nathan, if you'll come.
