Acts 20:32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of
His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among
all them which are sanctified.
If we think others
are beneath us, does that mean we think they are unworthy of God’s grace?
As you will notice in
this Bible verse, it doesn’t only say the ones who have social standing, a
fancy car, and the latest technology are worthy of God’s grace. Actually, none
of us is really worthy of His grace, but He gives it to us freely if we believe
in His Son Jesus, who gave His life for our sins.
So, what about all
those other people who seem beneath us that we ignore as we drive by and see
them with a bottle in a paper bag? Or those who appear that they would do
anything for another fix? Or those who don’t seem to be able to hold down a
job? Are they unworthy of Christ’s Grace, as well?
Of course not! God
loves each and every one of those people, the same as He loves us. It saddens
Him when we make choices that pull us away from Him, but at any given moment,
if we turn to Christ and ask Him to heal us, He will if we truly listen to Him
and are willing to do what He shows us. He wants all to have the inheritance
among all them which are sanctified, not just the ones who think they are
better than others. Actually, He can heal those too who are self-righteous and
think they are better than others, if they ask Him.
