๐Ÿ‘‘ God No Respecter Of Persons

In Romans 2:11 we read that โ€œthere is no respect of persons with God,โ€ and these very words, with slight variations, are found many times in the Bible. How wonderful! All stand on the same footing before His bar of justice.

Do you know why the kings in Israelโ€™s history were โ€” and were meant to be โ€” so rich? This was so that they might rule with true justice, beholden only to God. The rich could not bribe the king, nor could the powerful intimidate him, for he was far richer and more powerful than they. There was only one person over the king, spiritually: the prophet, who kept reminding him of the Word and the claims of God.

Well, God is infinitely richer than all the wealthy rulers, barons and money magnates of this world put together, thus there is โ€œno respect of persons with Him.โ€ Also, justice is one of His divine attributes, hence it is unthinkable that He should show favoritism.

But now a question: If God is no respecter of persons, why did He favor one nation, Israel, above all the rest and, for many centuries, bless them above all others? The answer: God made a difference to show that โ€œthere is no differenceโ€ (Rom. 3:22,23). He made an artificial difference, a dispensational difference, to show that there was no essential difference, no moral difference. He erected a โ€œmiddle wall of partitionโ€ between us to show that that wall must be broken down (Eph. 2:14-16).

And thus it is that the same God who once said to Israel:

โ€œYe are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant โ€ฆ Unto you firstโ€ฆโ€ (Acts 3:25,26)

โ€” this same God now says:

โ€œThere is no difference between the Jew and the Greek [Gentile], for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be savedโ€ (Rom. 10:12,13). source
