It is absurd that there are Christians who are selective of those they preach the gospel to. In their minds, they categorize humans as clean and unclean. The clean are those they perceive to be morally clean; the unclean are those they perceive to be morally unclean. While out on evangelism, they avoid those they perceive to be unclean and they only preach to those they perceive to be clean.
This was the whole essence of the vision God gave Peter as he prepared him to preach the gospel to Cornelius and his household.
Peter would gladly preach the gospel to those he perceived to be clean, who were Jews, and he would refrain from preaching the gospel to those he perceived to be unclean, who were Gentiles.
God tells him in the vision to “Kill and eat.”
Acts 10 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹¹ And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
¹² Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
¹⁴ But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
God wouldn’t accept Peter’s reason for not preaching the gospel to the Gentiles. He said to him, “What God has cleansed, that call not thou common.” Acts 10:15
Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, all of mankind has been cleansed from sin. Jesus’ blood was potent in making all men fit to hear the gospel.
When we go out on evangelism, we must preach the gospel to all men, whether morally clean or morally unclean.
The harvest is plenty, and laborers will no longer be few.
Apostle Destiny Kingston
