Context of Acts 10:43
41Not all the people saw him. God chose us to be Jesus' apostles and we saw him. Now we are telling people about all these things. We ate and we drank with Jesus after he became alive again. 42At that time, Jesus said to us, “Go and tell people the message about me. Tell them that God has given me authority to judge all people. I will judge those who are now alive. And I will judge those who have died.” ’ Then Peter said, ‘All of God's prophets spoke about Jesus as God's Messiah. They said that God would forgive everyone who believes in him. He would forgive them for their sins because of what Jesus, the Messiah, would do.’ 44While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit came down on all the people who were listening to his message. 45The Jewish believers who had come from Joppa with Peter were very surprised. They saw that God had now freely given his Holy Spirit to Gentiles.

The whole message and purpose of Scripture center on Christ (see Luke 24:25–27, 44–47; John 5:39). The main point of their message was that everyone who believes in Jesus will have sins forgiven through his name (see Luke 24:47).Read the comment
