<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>3</span>During His mortal ministry, Jesus Christ’s teachings often challenged people’s long-held traditions and beliefs; this didn’t stop after He ascended into heaven—after all, He continued to guide His Church by revelation.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>4</span>For example, during Jesus’s life His disciples preached the gospel only to fellow Jews.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>5</span>But soon after the Savior died and Peter became the prophet of the Church, Jesus Christ revealed to Peter that the time was right for the gospel to be preached to non-Jews.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>6</span>The idea of sharing the gospel with Gentiles doesn’t seem surprising today, so what’s the lesson in this account for us?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>7</span>Perhaps one lesson is that changes in policy and practice—in both the ancient and modern Church—come by revelation from the Lord to His chosen leaders (Amos 3:7; D&C 1:38).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>8</span>Continuing revelation is an essential characteristic of the true and living Church of Jesus Christ.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>9</span>Like Peter, we must be willing to accept continuing revelation and live “by every word of God” (Luke 4:4), including “all that [He] has revealed, all that He does now reveal” and the “many great and important things” He will yet reveal “pertaining to the Kingdom of God” (Articles of Faith 1:9).</p>

<div class='section'>Acts 10</div>
<div class='section'>使徒行傳第10章</div>
<div class='section'>“God is no respecter of persons.”</div>
<div class='section'>「神是不偏待人。」</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>10</span>For generations, the Jews had believed that being of “the seed of Abraham,” or a literal descendant of Abraham, meant that a person was accepted (chosen) by God (see Luke 3:8).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>11</span>Anyone else was considered an “unclean” Gentile who was not accepted by God.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>12</span>In Acts 10, what did the Lord teach Peter about who “is accepted with him”? (Acts 10:35).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>13</span>What evidence do you find in this chapter that Cornelius was living a righteous life that was acceptable to the Lord?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>14</span>Why is it important to know that “God is no respecter of persons” (verse 34), meaning that all people can receive the blessings of gospel if they live the gospel? (see 1 Nephi 17:35).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>15</span>Like the Jews who looked down on those who were not of the seed of Abraham, do you ever catch yourself making unkind or uninformed assumptions about someone who is different from you?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>16</span>How can you overcome this tendency?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>17</span>It might be interesting to try a simple activity for the next few days: Whenever you interact with someone, try to think to yourself, “This person is a child of God.”</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>18</span>As you do this, what changes do you notice in the way you think about and interact with others?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>19</span>See also D. Todd Christofferson, “Abide in My Love,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2016, 48–51; 1 Samuel 16:7; “Peter’s Revelation to Take the Gospel to the Gentiles” (video, LDS.org).</p>

<div class='section'>Heavenly Father teaches me line upon line through revelation.</div>
<div class='section'>天父用律上加律的啟示來教導我。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>20</span>When Peter saw the vision described in Acts 10, he struggled at first to understand it and “doubted in himself what [it] should mean” (verse 17).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>21</span>Yet the Lord gave Peter greater understanding as Peter sought it.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>22</span>As you read Acts 10, 11, and 15, notice how Peter’s understanding of his vision deepened over time.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>23</span>How have you sought and received greater understanding from God when you had questions?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>24</span>Acts 10, 11, and 15 recount instances in which the Lord directed His servants through revelation.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>25</span>It might help to record what you find regarding revelation as you read these chapters.</p>

<div class='section'>Acts 11:26</div>
<div class='section'>使徒行傳11：26</div>
<div class='section'>I am a Christian because I believe in and follow Jesus Christ.</div>
<div class='section'>我是基督徒，因為我相信並跟從耶穌基督。</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>28</span>What is significant about a person being called a Christian? (see Acts 11:26).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>29</span>What does it mean to you to be known as a Christian or to take upon yourself the name of Jesus Christ? (see D&C 20:77).</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>30</span>Consider the significance of names.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>31</span>For instance, what does your family name mean to you?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>32</span>Why is the name of the Church today important? (see D&C 115:4).</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>34</span>As you read the scriptures with your family, the Spirit can help you know what principles to emphasize and discuss in order to meet the needs of your family.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>35</span>Here are some suggestions:</p>
<div class='section'>Acts 10:17, 20</div>
<div class='section'>使徒行傳10：17，20</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>36</span>Have we ever had spiritual experiences and later doubted what we felt or learned?</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>38</span>(See Ronald A. Rasband, “Lest Thou Forget,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2016, 113–15.)</p>
<div class='section'>Acts 12:1–17</div>
<div class='section'>使徒行傳12：1-17</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>39</span>When Peter was cast into prison, members of the Church gathered together and prayed for him.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>40</span>Is there someone your family feels inspired to pray for, such as a Church leader or loved one?</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>41</span>What does it mean to pray “without ceasing”? (Acts 12:5).</p>

<div class='section'>Acts 14</div>
<div class='section'>使徒行傳第14章</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>43</span>As you read this chapter together, some family members could make note of blessings that came to the disciples and the Church, while other family members could note opposition or trials disciples experienced.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>44</span>Why does God allow difficult things to happen to righteous people?</p>
<div class='section'>Acts 15:1–21</div>
<div class='section'>使徒行傳15：1-21</div>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>45</span>These verses describe a disagreement in the Church regarding whether gentile (non-Jewish) converts should be required to be circumcised as a sign of their covenant.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>46</span>The disagreement was resolved after the Apostles met together to consider the subject and then received an inspired answer.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>47</span>This may be a good time to teach your family that the same pattern applies today.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>48</span>As a family, pick a question about the gospel that you want to find the answer to together.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>49</span>Look together for insights in the scriptures and in the teachings of modern prophets and apostles.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>50</span>(The Topical Guide and the topic index in the conference issue of Church magazines might help.)</p>

<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>52</span>Draw a picture.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>53</span>Pictures can help family members visualize scriptural teachings and stories.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>54</span>You might read a few verses and then allow time for family members to draw something that relates to what you have read.</p>
<p class='english'><span class='englishVerse'>55</span>For instance, family members might enjoy drawing pictures of Peter’s vision in Acts 10.</p>
