In Galatians, Paul confronts Peter because Peter has been keeping away from the circumcised Gentiles influencing the Jews in Antioch to do the same. When Paul realized what he was doing he said to him, "You are a Jew, but you live like one who is not. So why do you force Gentiles to follow jewish ways?" Paul is pretty much telling him that he is not suppose to stay away from the Gentiles but share the gospel with them.
Today's churches and Christians sometimes can do the same as Peter by keeping the Gospel to ourselves and not spreading it to the non-believers. It says specifically in the Bible that we are called to love others as you love yourself and without Christ there is no point to life. Because we are the Christians, we need to share Christ with everyone.
An example of this happening today would be having the problem of sharing the Gospel to people who might do things that makes you uncomfortable to be around. Sometimes it’s even hard to spread Christ’s love with the people who don’t respect you or are jerks to you. Instead of sharing the gospel with them, you just try to stay away from them.
