Category: God’s Impartiality

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-21-23

Acts 10:34 (NKJV) 34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

When Peter and some of the others in the early church received the revelation that God shows no partiality, it was life-changing for them.

This took place as the Holy Spirit was in the process of revealing to them that they were no longer restricted when it came to eating or not eating certain kinds of meat.

God had shown Peter in a vision that every animal was now declared clean and approved to be killed and eaten. They were no longer considered to be unclean.

Likewise, people were also no longer to be considered common or unclean (Acts 10:28).

This (Acts 10:28) is a powerful revelation that we all need to grasp the importance of.

In summary, God was declaring everyone equal; Jew or Gentile.

And as the gospel of Christ spread, even into the Gentile communities, this became clearer to everyone.

You see, God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

God chooses whom He will.

He does not subscribe to the whims of man; the fickle thoughts and preferences that divide people by ethnicity, or social status.

God does not consider a person’s wealth or lack of it.

When God chooses to use someone, He does so because He has set that person aside and prepared them for the task at hand. He has called them for a purpose.

The same holds true today. God does not change.

God may choose to use a man or woman with great wealth, with only a little money or with nothing.

Why?

Because God looks at the heart, not on the outward appearance.

1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

So, know that God can use someone regardless of their current situation. Whether they are the CEO of a major corporation or a person with no financial means whatsoever, God can use them if He chooses to do so.

And that person may even be you!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-25-22

Galatians 3:26-28 (NKJV) 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

We are all sons of God through our faith in Christ. This is so awesome! Just the phrase, “sons of God”, makes my heart leap.

And none of us are any more a son than another.

We are His sons and we are loved and cared for by Him all the same. His love towards you is the same as His love towards me.

What a wonderful thing to be called; His sons!

He doesn’t look at us any other way. He does not have any favorites. WE are all His “favorite”!

It does not matter where we have been or come from. It doesn’t matter about the things we have done before. We have given ourselves to Him. It is all forgotten as we repent and put our faith in HIs Son, Jesus Christ.

We have put on Christ.

We have much to rejoice about today! Together we stand as one in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-20-18

Matthew 20:16 (NKJV) 16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen.”

Nobody likes being last. In the natural world being last is looked down upon. Being last is shameful and embarrassing for most people.

But it’s different with God. He doesn’t look at things the way people do.

Jesus told a parable about a man who had hired workers to work in his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a specific wage for a day’s work.

Later in the morning he hired more workers and agreed to pay them the same wage for the day. And again, even later in the day, he hired even more workers, with only about one hour left in the workday.

When the vineyard owner paid all of the workers, those who were hired first thing in the morning complained because those who were hired during the last hour received the same wages as them.

And so it is with God. Some people begin following Him early in their lives. In the end, they inherit eternal life.

Those who find God later in life, perhaps even in their last hours here on earth, inherit eternal life, the same as those who found God earlier in life.

God shows no partiality. And even though He prefers that we would turn to Him and follow Him at an early age, He will never turn someone away or give them less than a longtime follower if they find Him late in life.

God is no respecter of persons. He doesn’t show partiality.

Romans 2:11 (NKJV) 11 For there is no partiality with God.

So, if you have begun following God at a late season in your life, do not fear. Don’t fret or be concerned about being less rewarded than someone who followed God all of their life.

Eternal life awaits you, no matter how long you have called Him your Father.

Follow Him with your whole heart. Give Him your all. For the first shall be last and the last shall be first.
