God’s Grace is for All and Has No Borders

Reverend Leo H. McCrary II

Never let anybody tell you that you can’t be saved by God’s grace.

Today’s devotional reading: Romans 3:21-31

For God so loved the world. We must remember these words from Christ when He spoke to Nicodemus. Many of the Jews despised Paul because Paul took the gospel to the world – to the gentile nations. You see, the Jews believed that the Messiah was meant only for them and that He would save only them. This is why many of the Jews struggled to accept Christ’s having come to the world.

Paul illustrated the prime difference between the Mosaic Law and Christ, in that there is salvation living under grace and none under the law. Another great difference between the Mosaic Law and Christ is who they were given too. The Mosaic Law was given only to the children of Israel (Exodus 19). Whereas, God loved the world, and gave Christ, His only begotten, to the world.

So what does it mean that God gave His only begotten Son to the world?

1. Christ was not given for one specific nation or race of people.
2. Christ wasn’t given to just one denomination of the Christian faith.
3. Christ wasn’t given to just one political party.
4. Christ belongs to all nations of people.

Whether you are black, white, hispanic, asian, etc, you can lay claim to Christ and the salvation that He has won for you. God’s grace has no walls, no borders, and no laws that forbid you from entering His grace.
