NT Promise 46: God Loves All People

Acts 10:34, 35 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth i perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

Peter learned a lesson and then preached it as a promise for all of us. God loves all people and that certainly includes you and me, too. He respects every human ever created equally regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, culture, wealth, class, station, or status in life. No person of any kind is privileged with God’s favor over any other. Jesus died for all.

This promise was not an easy truth for Peter and the early Jewish Christians to believe. It took miraculous workings of the Holy Spirit to convince them that God accepts all kinds of people equally. Any person whose heart has been prepared to believe God is accepted with the Lord.

This means you. There is nothing you could have done that would prevent God from loving and forgiving you. And there is nothing good that you, or anyone else, could have done that would make God love you more. you can’t make God love you more nor less than He already does, which is perfectly, totally, and unconditionally..

And thank God, that is the attitude we have toward people that are different than us.
