Acts 10:34-38
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
God calls His sheep from every nation as promised to Abraham - there is no partiality to only choose from Israel. Those who are being drawn to God try to do right, but fall short, so they need a deliverer and reconciler. So the good news of life was told to the gentiles in the name of the one who did and said what is good, healing some to prove He is the Messiah come to make men whole inside. There is no discrimination with God, just the call to those He chooses from every nation and people.
