Greetings everyone, and welcome to my blog. It is another wonderful opportunity to listen to the word of God through His servant, Bro. Eli Soriano.
According to Romans 2:11, God shows no partiality; He does not favor one person over another. When we speak of God—the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ—it means there is no discrimination with Him. In the same way, James 2:1 reminds believers not to practice favoritism in their faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.
We are not meant to treat people differently because everyone was created by God. In His sight, every individual matters. This is why the Bible teaches that it is God’s desire for all people to be saved. As stated in 1 Timothy 2:4, God wants everyone to come to the knowledge of the truth and receive salvation.
If God desires all people to be saved, then it clearly shows that He loves everyone. Also, 2 Peter 3:9 explains that God is patient with us. He does not want anyone to perish but wants everyone to turn away from sin and repent.
God’s will is that no one should be lost—not even a single person. His love extends to all. So the question should not be whether we accept someone based on their situation, such as being a single mother. There is no valid reason to reject anyone. While some people may have faced discrimination, such behavior is not expected in the true church of God. In the body of Christ, we are called to treat one another equally and show genuine care for each other.
1 Corinthians 12:25 teaches that there should be no division among believers, but that everyone should care for one another equally.
Looking at the early church, we see an example in Mary Magdalene. She had a troubled past and was once oppressed by evil spirits, yet she was delivered and accepted into the church. She became an important part of spreading the gospel and even supported the ministry of Jesus Christ. As recorded in Luke 8:2, she was among those who were healed and transformed.
This shows that no matter a person’s past or condition, they can be accepted, valued, and used for God’s purpose.
Thanks for reading.
