No Partiality {Scripture Saturday}



By Sandra Wyatt

Welcome to Scripture Saturday!  Today we continue our memorization of verses found in Acts with verse 10:34…

So Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him.”

God does not grant special favors to the rich or poor.  Being a good moral man/woman does not make a person special to Him and neither does being a great sinner.  God does not notice dress, whether it is a religious robe or rags.  He is much more interested in the person wearing the clothes.  God does not care what nationality we are.  He does not care for our rank or station in society.  He doesn’t care if you possess special talents.  Because of the work of Jesus, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)

“No matter our place of origin, the same God reaches out to us; the same gospel calls us home. Social boundaries and ethnic differences are no obstacle to the gospel. In the eyes of God, all of us in our wonderful uniqueness equally are given the invitation to receive Him.”

What a blessing that the door is open to everyone to receive Him as Savior!

Have a blessed and precious day everyone!
