Equality

Equality

God is the greatest and best egalitarian ever!


He did not put a price on salvation so that the rich could buy it but the poor would lose out,

He did not put an age on salvation so that the young could have it but the old would be excluded (or other way around)


He did not put a tribe on it so that all outside that tribe would miss out


He did not out a gender on it so that men would be saved and women left out


He did not put a class/caste on salvation so that the nobles would be saved, but the working class or lowest economic class would be lost


He did not put a level of education on it so that the educated could be saved and the uneducated would miss out.

He didn't put any limits on salvation so that those who did not meet the limit would be lost

And even the one limit that does exist - that sinfulness needs to be paid for by a perfect human...which no human on earth could EVER achieve, He provided for us himself in the person, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

God has done everything necessary for us to be saved. There's no catch, no cost, no skin colour, no tribe, no tongue, no gender, no age, no academics that will disqualify us from salvation. God has done everything, himself.
Our work is to believe in Jesus sacrifice, to put our trust in him, to reach out for the forgiveness available because of his death on the cross that paid for our sin!

And even for those who struggle to live the life of one who has been forgiven by God, He has provided the Holy Spirit to give us the strength, endurance wisdom, grace, love, hope and all we need to live the life of one who has been saved by God!!! The same Holy Spirit who gave Jesus the power to live on the earth is alive in each believer. We, in the Body of Christ, have the same Spirit, not that the Pastor has the Holy Spirit and the congregation doesn't...


There is no favouritism, no inequality, no discrimination, no separation of those who can and those who can't/ or those that have and those that have not...
God loves equality. God acts in equality. 

God is the ultimate egalitarian!!!
