Cornelius was a Gentile, or non-Jewish man, who was a military officer in the Roman army.
|

|
|
* He prayed regularly to God and was very generous in giving to the poor.
|
|
* When Cornelius and his family heard the apostle Peter explain the gospel, they became believers in Jesus.
|
|
* The people of Cornelius' household were the first non-Jewish people to become believers.
|
|
* This showed Jesus' followers that he had come to save all people, including Gentiles.
