God Is Not Prejudiced

Scripture
For there is no partiality with God.
(Romans 2:11)
Devotional
God is not impressed by your abilities, strengths, knowledge or talents. He is only impressed with one person, His Son. Whoever has Christ, has the favor of God. Whoever does not have Christ, does not have God’s favor. It does not matter how good you may be, without Christ in your life you are undone. God only shows favor toward His own, and His own come only through His Son. Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me.” Our education, financial status, color, nationality, or age does not matter. Whosoever will may come to Christ. He is no respecter of persons unto salvation. He desires that none should perish. Therefore, there are no insignificant people in God’s eyes. Everyone is worthy of our efforts. Do not discount anybody. God sent His Son for them, and if they are good enough for Christ, they ought to be good enough for you.
Thought For The Night
“It seems that more than ever the compulsion today is to identify, to reduce someone to what is on the label. To identify is to control, to limit. To love is to call by name, and so open the wide gates of creativity.” Madeleine L’Engle. (1918-) Author, honored by president George W. Bush with a National Humanities Medal.
